Claude Lelouch, the Oscar-winning director of “A Man and a Woman,” is getting ready to direct “Finalement…,” his next film which he says will be a sort of sequel to his BAFTA-nominated film “Happy New Year” and “L’aventure, l’aventure.” The lighthearted movie will reteam Lelouch with Metropolitan FilmExport which is co-producing with Lelouch’s banner Les Films 13, and will distribute in France.
Scored by popular French singer Ibrahim Maalouf, “Finalement…” will boast a large ensemble cast of French stars, including Kad Merad (“Baron Noir”), Elsa Zylberstein (“Simone”), Sandrine Bonnaire, Raphael Mezrahi, Michel Boujenah and Barbara Pravi.
Merad will play a powerful lawyer who sees his life take an unexpected turn after a health issue removes his ability to lie and forces him to speak without any filter. Merad’s character embarks on a road trip across France, from Paris to the Normandie, to the Mont St Michel, Avignon...

Every time there is a new Juliette Binoche performance it’s a hearty reminder that she is probably our greatest living actor. The new thriller Who You Think I Am, directed by Safy Nebbou, permits the star to show off a bit. With each passing scene the actress seems to be challenging herself to do more with less. Then, out of nowhere, a monologue in the middle of the film knocks your socks off. The picture ultimately reveals itself to be a masterclass in performance.
Binoche plays Claire, a professor recently dumped by her young lover Ludo. A woman scorned, she creates a fake social media profile in order to friend her ex. Posing as a 24-year-old blonde, Claire is soon in intimate online communication with Alex (François Civil), Ludo’s best friend. Rejuvenated by this fresh, passionate mutual attraction, she finds it harder and harder to break the spell...

In the current reality where we are all communicating online and unable to satisfy our need for touch and physical intimacy what better time for Safy Nebbou’s virtual thriller to grace us with its presence, a film in which the protagonist is experiencing a similar form – albeit on a smaller scale – of self-isolation. Who You Think I Am is a catfish story on the surface but wields a much more substantial message once under Nebbou’s microscope.
Claire, played by the ever-enigmatic Juliet Binoche is ghosted by her young lover. A fifty-something literature professor, Claire does something we’re all guilty of (come on), and checks out her ex on Facebook, she takes her obsession further by setting up a fake profile and reaching out to his friend Alex (François Civil) in the hope to get closer to photographer and A+ ghoster, Ludo (Guillaume Gouix) as she recalls the...

For a film that hinges entirely on the deceptive nature of appearances, it’s appropriate that “Who You Think I Am” wears a few genre disguises itself en route to a double-edged conclusion. Leading Juliette Binoche’s unhappily divorced academic through the tricks and turns of online catfishing, the film’s premise seems poised at any minute to break into either a mature romantic comedy in the Nancy Meyers vein or a “Fatal Attraction”-style psychothriller. Rare is the film that would feel equally comfortable following either of those paths; rarer still is one that, somehow, winds up threading both needles, as writer-director Safy Nebbou tucks bittersweet human observations between unabashedly outlandish twists. With Binoche once more on beguiling form, in a role that feels like an unhinged sister to her romantically restless artist in “Let the Sunshine In,” this slinky entertainment can expect numerous distributors’ friend requests.

It goes without saying that few nations have contributed to the forward progression of cinema throughout the art’s history more than France. Home to not only some of cinema’s greatest achievements but artists whose impact will be felt until the time ends, France is one of the few true titans of world cinema. And that’s not changing anytime soon.

As biopics go, Yves Saint-Laurent is one of the shortest in contemporary film, clocking in at a mere 106 minutes. Despite the running time though, the debut from French actor-turned-director Jelil Lespert achieves much. It shows us how Saint-Laurent changed the world of fashion while the new fashions of social life changed his life. By the end of the biopic, he is a multifaceted figure full of contradictions and complexities – although he is still more of an icon that a character.
The film chronicles about 30 years of the famed fashion designer’s life, beginning at his early tutelage under Christian Dior. While more of an episodic biography than a film where the artist is motivated by a central goal, Yves Saint-Laurent does try on many of the (figurative) clothes the designer wore during his stint as the head of France’s premiere fashion house (and later his own establishment). Saint-Laurent was a repressed homosexual,...
