Isabelle Huppert sure likes to work. Why else would the person most likely to raise a regal hand were you to page “our greatest living actress,” in between the roles that might earn her that title, take on projects like Thierry Klifa’s perfectly middling “The Richest Woman in the World”? Then again, perhaps it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy: This follies-of-the-megawealthy downfall drama, loosely based on the 2010 Bettencourt Affair involving the heiress to the L’Oreal empire, feels simultaneously beneath Huppert and entirely built around her. What pleasures it yields stem exclusively from watching the actress swan around without breaking a sweat in a role tailored to her specifications as precisely as costume designers Jürgen Doering and Laure Villemer’s expensively chic outfits.
Marianne Farrère (Huppert) is roused from her bed by the police raiding her mansion. Confronting the interlopers a few moments later, looking amazing she is powerless to stop them seizing her assets,...

Isabelle Degeorges, president of Gaumont Television, has teased the upcoming six-episode series by Cédric Anger. Under the working title “In the Shadow of the Forest” (“A l’ombre des forêts”) and developed for Apple TV+, it features Benoit Magimel and Mélanie Laurent.
“It’s about paranoia,” said Degeorges.
“Four friends go to hunt in the forest and suddenly, somebody’s shooting at them. They have one second to decide what to do. They end up killing somebody. They are human – they’ve made the wrong decision, but their life becomes a nightmare. For me, it was interesting to wonder what I would’ve done in their place.”
Cédric Anger is also behind “Next Time I’ll Aim for the Heart” and “Paris Pigalle.”
“He has written the script and directed the show. He came to us and wanted to tell this story, but it was his story. He’s a cineaste.

Isabelle Huppert has started filming in France as a fictionalised version of billionaire Liliane Bettencourt, the heir to the L’Oreal fortune, on La Femme la Plus Riche du Monde which Playtime has boarded for sales.
Directed by Thierry Klifa, the film is loosely inspired by nonagenarian Bettencourt, who became the subject of a social, financial and political scandal when she gave hundreds of millions of Euros to a young artist which led her daughter to launch an investigation that uncovered political corruption allegations extending to former French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

A L’ombre des Forêts is set around an incident that changes a man’s life. Franck (Magimel) and his long-time friends spend their weekends hunting together, but one Sunday encounter another group, who start targeting them without explanation.

Wingwomen is a refreshing take on the male-dominated heist genre, focusing on the close relationship between two female thieves. The film balances intense action and tension with realistic and meaningful character development, setting it apart from other movies in the genre. With a talented cast, led by Mélanie Laurent and Adèle Exarchopoulos, Wingwomen delivers a compelling and thrilling story that is not to be missed.
Heist movies are usually driven by male actors. Most of the time, it is only male actors taking part. But what happens when the main characters are all female? It is a formula that is often tried but with a sense that females are simply replacing men instead of being written as actual women. That being said, Wingwomen may be the antidote.
For people scrolling through Netflix, Wingwomen may have been a film that slipped past. However, this film should be at the top of your queue.

Femme fatales are usually supporting characters in any crime or espionage thriller. The last femme fatale who created a lot of noise for her suave action skills and sheer beauty in a film was Ana de Armas in No Time to Die. Ever since, there have been only a handful of films and television shows that have explored this archetype. Even in the Hindi cinema space, the last interesting film that deeply explored the femme fatale was Vishal Bhardwaj’s Saat Khoon Maaf. Wingwomen, whose French title is Voleuses, loosely translated to thieves, is the story of two friends who are on the verge of leaving the life of crime. This French Netflix original film, released on November 2, 2023, is based on the comic book of the same name by Florent Ruppert, Jérôme Mulot, and Christophe Deslandes and is directed by Mélanie Laurent.

André Téchiné’s “Golden Years” is a bit of a wash. The true story of a World War I deserter who spent the roaring twenties living as a woman, Téchiné’s film is a surprising misfire, especially because it arrives only one year after the director’s masterful “Being 17.” Both films share thematic – if not exactly narrative – parallels, telling of volatile couplings reordered by sexual exploration. But Téchiné seems to have forgotten the hard-won lessons of his previous film, dialing down any hint of life’s thrilling uncertainty for a stodgily theatrical approach that tells the story in the most superficial way possible.
It is the story of Paul and Louise Grappe, a young couple living their golden years before the Great War breaks and Paul (“Stranger By The Lake” star Pierre Deladonchamps) is sent to the front. The war prove entirely too hellish for him and so he blows off his own finger,...

Adèle Haenel and Guillaume Canet in André Téchiné's In The Name Of My Daughter
Next Time I’ll Aim For The Heart (La Prochaine Fois Je Viserai Le Coeur) director Cédric Anger was the co-screenwriter for André Téchiné's casino family thriller In The Name Of My Daughter, aka French Riviera (L’Homme Qu’on Aimait Trop). In both films he returns to the Seventies and to real-life murder cases with Guillaume Canet as the male lead and in both, possibly aided by the costumes he is wearing and the period haircuts, Canet looks strikingly like François Truffaut, which makes for an interesting obstacle to overcome in performance. And overcome it he does.

Update, Tuesday, 4:02 Am Pt: A couple of things have happened in the world of international box office since late Sunday night. We now know that The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I will not be bowing in China in the 2014 calendar year, and we have a little more insight into why Korea is like the proverbial black hole for Interstellar (in the good sense). Exerting an incredible gravitational pull, Korea has advanced itself as a massive $35.9M play (so far) for Christopher Nolan’s intergalactic epic. Here’s why: There is a very strong and vocal Nolan fanbase in Korea, which has generated astronomical word of mouth in the market. I’m told there were a few midnight screenings the night before the opening on November 6, and online buzz began building immediately. The not-so-spacey elements have also played very well, with the emotional and family sub-plots broadening appeal. Worth...

Leading digital distributor takes VOD and TV rights to Canadian boutique distributor’s catalogue, including Down Terrace [pictured].
FilmBuff has picked up VOD and TV rights through Canada to Evokative Films’ library.
Titles in the Canadian company’s library include Satoshi Miki’s Adrift in Tokyo, Ben Wheatley’s debut feature Down Terrace and Cédric Anger’s The Killer.
Stephanie Trepanier, Evokative Films founder, commented: “I very much wanted to input the Evokative library on the new VOD channels, but they were not yet ready to take in international films from an independent distributor.
“This past spring, I met the good people at FilmBuff, who saw the potential of Evokative’s library of films. Hopefully, we will very soon see these films on iTunes, Netflix and other VOD channels and TV stations.”
FilmBuff’s head of content partnerships Steven Beckman added: “We are thrilled to be working with Stephanie to make these films available digitally in Canada. Our distribution...

Wonderful news for our friends in Canada. Evokative Films has just announced they will bring Im Pil-Sung’s stunning sophomore effort 헨젤과 그레텔 (Hansel and Gretel) to Canada, with a limited theater run followed by home video releases. The new company, which is strongly focusing on genre cinema and will also release Miki Satoshi’s 轉轉 (Adrift in Tokyo) and Cédric Anger’s Le Tueur (The Killer), recently signed a distribution contract with Finecut, which is becoming an increasingly bigger player in the international sales market. Film had a pretty healthy festival run (Cannes, Puchon) after its somewhat disappointing domestic theater run, and was selected as the closing film of the Dragons and Tigers section of the Vancouver International Film Festival (director Im will be present at the screening).
Film is one of the best Korean works of the last 18 months, oozing with creativity and ingenious visuals, and tremendous acting...
