This year’s edition of the Directors’ Fortnight will begin with Barbie and end with…plastic. Julien Rejl‘s selection committee have lassoed a total of twenty-one features for a slate that will bookend with Sophie Fillières‘ final feature (she passed away shortly after filming) in Ma Vie Ma Gueule which is selected as the section’s opener (Agnès Jaoui’s character’s nickname is that of the plastic doll) and the closing film honors will go to Bloody Oranges director Jean-Christophe Meurisse‘s comedy about a road-trip gone wrong titled Plastic Guns.

A pandemic hiccup might have slightly pushed back the production start date (we mentioned the project when it got a leg up via the the Arte France cinema folks) but it appears that Thierry de Peretti is indeed setting up shop for his fourth feature film – due to begin lensing this September. À son image will be filmed in Ajaccio (in Corsica), France and will likely still unfold in Bosnia. Peretti who has been at Cannes with his first and second features in Apaches (2013) and A Violent Life (2017) is working from a project that is based on Jérôme Ferrari’s novel of the same name.…...

Reported by our friends at Cineuropa, Arte France Cinéma are getting behind a quartet of new projects – a pair that are on our radar and another two that are news to us. Finally … we got an update on Jérémy Comte‘s directorial debut Paradise, which will go into production in the fall of 2023. The French Canadian filmmaker gave us the masterwork Sundance-winning short Fauve back in 2018. Another feature debut in the works, Mareike Engelhardt‘s Rabia (which we reported on when Megan Northam and Lubna Azabal were cast) will also receive support.
Thierry de Peretti‘s À son image, (which translates to “In His Image”) is loosely adapted from Jérôme Ferrari’s novel of the same name, the story (which was co-written by the filmmaker and Jeanne Aptekman) revolves around several moments in the life of Antonia – a photographer who’s the victim of a road traffic accident in Corsica – and her closest friends.

Less than a year after launching, Pathé’s division dedicated to series is already firing up a flurry of premium projects that are equally as ambitious as its film output.
The first slate of Pathé’s TV arm boasts 12 series in different stages of development. These include two shows based on Alexandre Dumas’ literary classic “The Three Musketeers,” as well as adaptations of “Cyrano de Bergerac” and Joel Dicker’s bestseller “The Last Days of Our Fathers.”
The division is spearheaded by Aude Albano, a well-connected industry player who previously worked alongside Claude Chelli at Capa Drama, where she produced “Versailles,” “Osmosis” and “Marie Antoinette.”
“Our slate spans large-scale series that reflect Pathé’s DNA and the endeavor to expand our brand in the series world,” says Albano. She says the company is following similar guidelines to the film arm. “We’re pursuing high-end and event projects, so it can be historical costume series,...

Whenever a film begins with a disclaimer asserting that the story you’re about to see is fictional — and furthermore, that what shall unfold on-screen “should not be considered a reflection of a reality” — it’s hard not to go in assuming the exact opposite. Why protest so much if there’s no factual basis there? In the case of “Undercover,” our skepticism is precisely the filmmakers’ intent: That introductory, legally obligatory text could hardly make its irony any clearer with actual scare quotes. Names have been changed, but anyone familiar with the headlines can tell that Thierry de Peretti’s no-frills, teeth-gritted procedural thriller has been drawn from the real-life case of former French anti-narcotics chief Francois Thierry, charged in 2017 with complicity in large-scale drug smuggling using police resources. It’s a sensational affair that de Peretti treats with sober practicality, emulating the patient investigative techniques of the journalist...

Thanks in part to his work with auteurs Benoit Jacquot, Claire Denis and Stéphane Brizé, Vincent Lindon had long become something of a festival-world habitué, a sturdy and reliable fixture on the international circuit. But even with well over two decades’ red carpet experience, nothing could quite prepare the French actor for what he cheekily calls this year’s “grand slam.”
“It’s crazy and strange and totally wild,” Lindon tells Variety, reflecting on an ongoing festival tour that kicked into high gear when he and his “Titane” director Julia Ducournau were called back for Cannes’ closing ceremony to receive the Palme d’Or, and which will continue with the actor launching Brizé’s “Another World” in Venice and Thierry de Peretti’s “Undercover” in San Sebastian.

Starring Jessica Chastain and Andrew Garfield, “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” will receive its European premiere at late September’s San Sebastian Festival.
The biggest film event in the Spanish-speaking world will open with the anticipated “One Second” from China’s Zhang Yimou, which was dramatically pulled from competition at the 69th Berlin Film Festival.
Both titles play in competition, vying for San Sebastian’s top film plaudit, its Golden Shell, where they are joined by French filmmaker Thierry de Peretti’s “Undercover.”
Recounting the rise, fall and redemption of Tammy Faye, the indomitable wife of televangelist Jim Bakker, “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” weighs in as the only U.S. movie in San Sebastian main competition. It catches Chastain on a high as she will receive the TIFF Tribute Actor Award, coinciding with the premiere at Toronto of the film.

Spain’s San Sebastian Festival has set Zhang Yimou’s Chinese epic One Second as the opening film for its competition program this year. The screening will mark the film’s international premiere.
The film has had a rocky road to the international festival circuit. It was originally selected to debut at the Berlinale in 2019 but was abruptly withdrawn at the last minute due to “technical difficulties”. It was widely understood that the film had been removed due to pressure from the Chinese government.
After reshoots, the movie was cleared for release in China in November last year, though it only grossed $10M, an underwhelming figure for a high-profile title that was seen as having potential for international recognition. Since then, the pic was announced as the closing film of Toronto, and Neon boarded U.S. rights.

Les Années 10
Long time actor and director Thierry de Peretti should have his highly anticipated third feature, Les Années 10 (formerly known as L’Infiltre) ready for 2020. Produced by Frederic Jouve, Peretti has amassed Pio Marmaï, Mathieu Kassovitz, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi and Alexis Manenti for his latest feature. His first feature, Les Apaches premiered in Directors’ Fortnight at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, and his 2017 sophomore feature A Violent Life received a Special Screening at Cannes.

French star Vincent Lindon, who toplines Stephane Brizé’s Cannes competition entry “At War,” is set to star in Thierry de Peretti’s “L’Infiltré” (“The Infiltrated”), a thriller based on the true story of Hubert Avoine, a former con who became a French informant in 2007 and infiltrated Mexican drug cartels.
The film was written by de Peretti, based on the recently published book by the same name written by Avoine and French investigative journalist Emmanuel Fansten. In the book, Avoine says France’s Office for Illicit Drug Traffic Control used him to organize its own drug ring.
The movie will be produced by Frédéric Jouve at Paris-based Les Films Velvet, and co-produced by Claude Chelli at Capa Drama, the thriving banner behind “Braquo” and “Versailles.” Both outfits are also partnering with de Peretti and French pay TV channel Canal Plus on a mini-series about Avoine’s journey as an informant.

Rolling off “Versailles” and “Thanksgiving,” which is competing at Series Mania in Lille, Newen-owned Capa Drama is developing a raft of internationally-driven series with French and U.S. partners, including “The 10 O’Clock People” and “L’Infiltré.”
Headed by Claude Chelli, Capa Drama has partnered up with U.S. company Fabrik Entertainment to co-develop “The 10 O’Clock People,” a series adapted from a short novel by Stephen King which was published in the Nightmares & Dreamscapes collection.

The scars of colonialism are far from healed all over the world, yet it’s easy to forget that some of the most protracted struggles have occurred in remote regions of Europe. Just as Britain formerly used Ireland as a laboratory for colonial policies, one of France’s most fractious territories is its closest to home; Corsica, just ninety minutes from Paris by plane.
In his second feature, “A Violent Life,” Corsican-born director Thierry de Peretti portrays the nationalist violence that gripped his homeland in the 1990s, trying to untangle the murky nexus of crime, state power, and revolutionary groups that fought for control.

The past is a home country in Corsica-born French director Thierry de Peretti’s second feature, A Violent Life. A crime saga chronicling Corsica’s gruesome 1990s nationalist feuds via the rise and fall of the lost generation who took part in them, it captures a topic seldom shown on the big screen, but a few scattered hints of old and recent mafia classics aside (from Coppola’s Godfather trilogy to Francesco Munzi’s 2014 Black Souls), the end result never quite feels like the gripping thriller it could have been.
The entry point in the island’s troubled decade is Stéphane (played here by newcomer Jean Michelangeli, in an assured debut). A bespectacled and tame-looking Paris-based Corsican, his cushy life in the capital takes a U-turn after an old time friend is murdered in the island by local thugs.

For his second feature, Corsican-born French filmmaker Thierry de Peretti (Apaches) chose to focus on the violent nationalist struggle that wracked his native island throughout the 1990s. It’s an ambitious project that, in its best moments, sits somewhere between Gomorra and The Godfather, following one young man’s rise – and inevitable fall – within the factional wars that took place between rival militant groups, resulting in dozens of deaths and a major police crackdown.
But despite a worthy cause – Corsica’s tumultuous past has rarely been depicted on screen – and a few standout moments, A Violent Life (Une vie...

Mafia tale Sicilian Ghost Story to open sidebar, Sundance hit Brigsby Bear selected as closer.
Cannes Critics’ Week, devoted to first and second features as well as shorts, has unveiled the line-up of its 56th edition, running May 18-26.
Italian directors Fabio Grassadonia and Antonio Piazza will open the selection with their second feature Sicilian Ghost Story, a genre-mixing work following a teenage girl as she searches for the boy she loves after he is kidnapped by the Mafia.
It is inspired by the real-life tale of Giuseppe Di Matteo, the son of a former Mafia hitman-turned-informant, who was abducted in 1993.
Critics’ Week artistic director Charles Tesson described it as a “staggering crossover between cinema genres, combining politics, fantasy and terrible teen love.”
The directorial duo premiered their debut feature Salvo in competition in Critics’ Week in 2013, winning the €15,000 Nespresso Grand Prize.

Heavy on the French film items and with a side dish of Chilean influence, this year’s Directors’ Fortnight also known as the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs is offering “double” Alejandro Jodorowosky, and the highly anticipated titles we predicted from the likes of Clio Barnard (The Selfish Giant) and Serge Bozon (Tip Top). Repping Chile, we have Sebastián Silva’s Magic Magic (review) which is joined by another Sundance preemed title in Jim Mickle’s We Are What We Are (fittingly this is the remake of Somos lo que hay (which was featured in the section in 2010). Upping the sci-fi quotient by joining the already announced The Congress, we find Ruairi Robinson highly anticipated feature debut with Last Days On Mars. Anurag Kashyap makes it two for two years, after unloading the almost six hour Gangs of Wasseypur, he returns with Ugly, while Tehilim (Main Comp in 2007) helmer Raphaël Nadjari returns...

The committee saw 1,858 films submitted this year and while additional titles will continue to be announced, this morning we got the full Competition and Un Certain Regard lineup and it looks amazing so far.

Additionally James Gray's once titled Lowlife starring Marion Cotillard, Joaquin Phoenix and Jeremy Renner will play, but under the name The Immigrant and Takashi Miike's cop thriller Wara No Tate (Straw Shield) has also made the competition list. However, the biggest "surprise" is the inclusion of Alexander Payne's black-and-white film Nebraska, which is sure to be a big attention getter,...
