Toplining Fanny Ardant as a jet-setting authoress and Dominique Pinon as a possible serial killer, “Gare” has been taken as a return to signature form for Lelouch.
Pic will be presented this weekend at the New York Rendez-Vous with French Cinema.
Roissy also has sold Amos Gitai’s “One Day You’ll Understand” to Canada’s Seville Pictures.
Pic
is based on the novel of the same title by Jerome Clement, president of
TV channel Arte France, written in memory of his parents, who were
murdered at Auschwitz.
“One Day” also has several offers of interest from the U.S., said Roissy’s Yohann Comte.
Paris-based sales company has continued select pre-sales on “Seraphine,” licensing it to Cineart for Benelux and Filmtrade in Greece.
Starring Ulrich Tukur (“The Lives of Others”) and Yolande Moreau (“The Last Mistress”), “Seraphine” is the biopic of unconventional French post-modernist painter Seraphine de Senlis.
Deal
joins sales to Seville Pictures in Canada, Spain’s Golem and Joint
Entertainment in Taiwan (twinned with “Caramel”), based on a promo-reel
showcased at Berlin’s European Film Market.
With “Seraphine” ready for delivery in May, Roissy is holding back on many territory sales, Comte said.
