Sorry for the delay in posting
the Cannes photos but this
past weekend was my 50th wedding anniversary celebration, a joyful
and memorable occasion. On Saturday Vincent participated in the
photo call, press conference and screening for Roman Polanski's
D'APRES UNE HISTOIRE VRAIE (Based on a True Story).
Principal photography has
begun on Vincent's next film - LOVE WALL, directed and
written by Romain Cogitore. It's a romantic drama about a
couple named Maria and Oliver, played by Déborah François and Paul
Hamy. Maria is a 30-something rebellious, restless woman who meets
this shy, indolent man in Taiwan. Their love will be tested by a
serious and complex illness. Vincent will play a physician. Filming
took place last week at a hospital in Limoges.

 Several
films have joined the official selection of the 70th edition of the
Cannes Film Festival, which will take place from May 17-28, 2017.
Among them, BASED ON A TRUE STORY
(D’apres une histoire vraie), the latest feature by Roman Polanski,
will be presented out of competition. The film is the adaptation of
Delphine de Vigan's critically-acclaimed novel published in 2015.
Emmanuelle Seigner and Eva Green play the two main roles with
Vincent as Seigner's companion. The psychological thriller
tells the story of the toxic relationship between a writer
(Emmanuelle), whose life and mind are endangered by an obsessive
admirer (Eva) as she goes through a tough period after the release
of her latest book.
This movie affords a new
opportunity for Polanski to deal with subjects that dot the whole of
his filmography and that he has mastered to perfection - domination,
submission, question of identity, guilt. This gives a measure of
confidence in the quality of this next release. The screenplay was
co-written by Polanski and Olivier Assayas. Cinematography is by
Pawel Edelman and music by Alexandre Desplat. Shooting began last
November in the Perche region and in Paris with an estimated budget
of €10,000,000.
Mars Distribution will release
the film in France with Sony Pictures Classics obtaining its North
American distribution, while Lionsgate will release it
internationally. This is Polanski's seventh film to be shown at
Cannes. |
