Extremely well received at last month’s edition of Tiff, Martin Provost’s Violette becomes purchase number two (after Bethlehem) in just as many weeks for Jeff Lipsky’s Adopt Films. Screen Daily reports that the NYC-based distrib will release the biopic in May or June of next year.
Gist: Co-written by Provost, Marc Abdelnour and René de Ceccatty, Emmanuelle Devos stars in the eponymous role as the bisexual postwar author Violette Leduc, who was born out of wedlock and raised in poverty and went on to become the world renowned writer of The Bastard. This sees Sandrine Kiberlain star as Simone de Bouvoir, Jacques Bonnaffé as Jean Genet, Olivier Py as Maurice Sachs and Olivier Gourmet as Jacques Guérin.
Worth Noting: Leduc actually saw her novel novel Thérèse and Isabelle be adapted into a 1968 film by director Radley Metzger and starring Essy Persson and Anna Gael.

French director Martin Provost is re-teaming with "Seraphine" star Yolande Moreau for the heartfelt drama "The Long Falling." This comes after "Seraphine" won best film at last year's Cesar awards. The story tells of a woman who offs her husband after years of physical abuse. She forms a friendship with a widowed woman who she meets while on the run. Marc Abdelnour wrote the screenplay for the $6.1 million-budgeted film produced by F Comme Films' Julie Salvador. Luc Besson's EuropaCorp-owned Roissy Films is handling international sales. Other titles that Roissy has are Zabou Breitman's "No and Me," "Si tu meurs, je te tue!" (If You Die, I'll Kill You!") by Hiner Saleem and Thierry Benisti's "A Bottle in the Sea of Gaza."...

Chicago – Her eyes are always looking forward, as if they possess the ability to peer into the parallel dimension next door. She feels most alive in the presence of nature, and feels great joy in recreating images of god’s creation. Her closest acquaintances seem to be of an otherworldly essence, and she acknowledges them every time her twinkly gaze is directed toward the sky.
There’s a great mystery about what goes on in the mind of Séraphine Louis, a middle-aged cleaning lady who harbors a primal compulsion to create art. She takes raw material from her natural surroundings (such as blood and clay), combines them with paint, and produces images of striking power. There’s an intensity about her imagery that frightens her, as mundane objects like fruit and flowers take on an unsettling life of their own. Her work would eventually be categorized as “naïve” because of its simplicity,...

An untrained painter discovered in rural France
Stories about lowly domestic workers who turn out to have secret artistic abilities or who bear an unrecognized burden for the community often rub me the wrong way. It’s inherently joyful to watch a person blossom before skeptical eyes, but something about the attitude of a film that assumes the worst about its characters—both the servant and the people who ignore her until the truth is revealed—feels condescending. The difference between a real examination of inequality and a flattering tug at the heartstrings is often found at a story’s edges, brought out through subtlety and finesse. On the one side is Babette’s Feast (1987), charming and heartwarming for unclear reasons,...
