Three French films, the melodrama “A Family for 1640 Days”, the political thriller “Goliath” and the comedy “Adieu Paris”, are due to be released in the United States by New York-based Distrib Films.
Fabian Gorgart’s “A Family for 1640 Days” (“Une vraie famille”) and Edouard Baer’s “Adieu Paris” are both represented in international markets by Le Pacte.
A Family for 1640 Days, first prize winner at last year’s French-American Film Festival, is about Simon, a six-year-old adopted boy who is about to be reunited with his biological father. The film stars Melanie Thierry (En therapie) and Liz Salem. Distrib Films plans to release the film in early 2023 and run it in festivals.
A love letter to the French capital, “Adieu Paris” marks the fourth directorial outing for the actor-turned-assistant Bayer, who last directed “Ouvert la nuit” in which he starred opposite Audrey Tautou and Sabrina Ozani. “Adieu Paris” was the world premiere at last year’s Lumiere Festival in Lyon, featuring notable actors including Pierre Arditi, Jackie Berroyer, François Damiens, Bernard Murat, Bernard Le Coq, Benoît Poelvoorde and Gérard Depardieu, among others.
“Goliath” by Frederic Teller, represented by Studiocanal, is a thriller in the veins of “Erin Brockovich”. It stars a strong French cast including Emmanuel Bercot (“Mon roi”), Gilles Lelouch (“The Stronghold”), and Pierre Nene (“Yves Saint Laurent”). The film is about an environmental law attorney, a lobbyist for an international chemical company, and a school teacher turned activist whose husband developed cancer from exposure to a pesticide. Distrib Films will release the film in time before next spring after the festivals are over.
“Distrib Films US is pleased to deal with films that have greater appeal as it is now difficult to engage audiences with purely composed films the way we are used to,” said François Seba-Kohn, President of Distrib Films US.
The company is preparing to release Bercot’s latest movie, “Peaceful,” in US theaters starting in New York and Los Angeles on October 28 and November 4. National proposal. Bercot will be on hand in New York for a “Peaceful” event on October 17, while Gabriel Sara, the doctor portrayed in the film, will attend Q&A sessions after New York screenings held at the Quad Cinema. “Peaceful” world premiered at the Cannes Film Festival.
