Spring Blossom is the first feature film to come courtesy of Suzanne Lindon (the daughter of Vincent Lindon and Sandrine Kiberlain), who wrote the screenplay and also stars in the cast, which further comprises Arnaud Valois (nominated Best New Hope at the 2018 Césars for BPM (Beats Per Minute [+leggi anche:

), Florence Viala, Frédéric Pierrot and Rebecca Marder. The story centres around sixteen-year-old Suzanne. People her own age bore her. Every day, on her way to high school, she passes a theatre. There, she meets an older man who become obsessed with her. Despite their age difference, they find in one other an answer to their ennui and fall in love. But Suzanne is afraid she’s missing out on the life of a 16-year-old which she had struggled so much to enjoy in the same way as her peers… Produced by Caroline Bonmarchand for Avenue B Productions, chiefly with the support of the Ile-de-France region, the film enjoys the musical compositions of Vincent Delerm. It will be released in France on 9 December by way of Paname Distribution.

The other Luxbox title granted Cannes’ Official Selection Label is In The Dusk by Sharunas Bartas, who’s a familiar face at the larger festivals (competing in Venice in 2000, in Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section in 1996 and 1997, in its Directors’ Fortnight line-up in 2005, 2015 and 2017, and in the Berlinale Forum in 1992 and 2010). The story plunges us into Lithuania in 1948. The war is over, but the country is left in ruins. Nineteen-year-old Untė is a member of the Partisan movement resisting Soviet occupation. The two sides aren’t fighting on equal terms, but this desperate struggle will determine the future of the whole population. At an age where he is discovering life, Untė will also be confronted with violence and betrayal. The lines are blurred between the burning passion of his youth and the cause for which he is fighting.  He is ready to commit himself to the full, at the risk of losing his innocence and his life... Production is helmed by Lithuanian group Studija Kinema and French firm KinoElektron in co-production with Sirena Films (Czech Republic), Biberche Productions (Serbia), Mistrus Media (Latvia) and Terratreme Filmes (Portugal).

Luxbox will also be kicking off pre-sales on Joachim Lafosse’s The Restless [+leggi anche:
