Two young men lose themselves in the cold Parisian night only to find themselves again in nature in “Atomic Age,” from tyro scribe-helmer Helena Klotz. This impressionistic poeme nocturne anatomizes different if related tonalities of youthful ennui and friendship, and the narrative’s m.o. also translates via the impressive nighttime cinematography and immersive soundscape. Multiplex-goers will find the story anorexically thin, but experimentally inclined auds will understand why “Age” won France’s prestigious Prix Jean Vigo. Tla picked up U.S. rights.

Following up the initial announcement of titles, the 62nd Berlin International Film Festival revealed it will open with the period drama Les Adieux à la reine (Farewell My Queen) today. From director Benoît Jacquot, the drama stars Inglourious Basterds lead Diane Kruger, as well as Léa Seydoux who broke-out in Midnight in Paris and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol this year. Based on, Chantal Thomas’ novel we have the first stills of the film (from Lumiere via The Playlist) that follows the “first few days of the French Revolution from the perspective of the servants at Versailles.”
Kruger, who plays Marie Antoinette here, has only appeared in one big film following her post-Basterds role with Unknown, but I look forward to her future work, especially with this film. I thought Seydoux was great as an action villain in Ghotocol and excited to see her career rise. Check out the stills below,...
