, the 21st feature film by prolific director François Ozon. For the second time, after Gouttes d’eau sur pierres brûlantes (in competition in Berlin in 2000), the filmmaker has adapted (loosely, as the title and the main character’s different gender indicates) the play The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant by Germany’s Rainer Werner Fassbinder (who brought the production to the big screen himself in 1972). For the record, the original version of the work revolves around a famous fashion designer, widowed by her first husband, divorced from the second and now living with a stylist and assistant whom she takes great pleasure in humiliating, who finds herself captivated by a beautiful young woman from a more modest background and proposes that the latter move in with her and take advantage of her support to get started in the world of modelling... A regular at the major festivals, François Ozon has been selected to compete in Berlin on four other occasions (in 2002, 2007, 2009 and 2019), in Cannes three times (in 2003, 2013 and 2017), in Venice three times (2004, 2010 and 2016) and three times in San Sebastian too (in 2009, 2012 and 2014). His previous work Tout s’est bien passé (starring Sophie Marceau in the lead) is currently awaiting its world premiere. Production on Peter von Kant is steered by the director’s company FOZ.

(2019). The cast notably stars Virginie Efira and Roschdy Zem, with production in the hands of Les Films Velvet.

The CNC also selected the project Au bord du monde by the electrifying Gaspar Noé, whose five previous feature films were showcased in Cannes: I Stand Alone (the winner of Critics’ Week’s Grand Prize in 1998), Irréversible (in competition in 2002), Enter the Void [+leggi anche:

(selected for Cannes’ ACID line-up in 2016). Co-written by the director in league with Jules Lugan, the story homes in on three teenage friends who decide to fake a cancer case on the Internet and set up a dedicated fundraising page. Cut off from the world in their little isolated village, they don’t suspect for a second that this virtual lie will come back to haunt them… Production is in the hands of Baxter Films and Les Films Velvet.

Two animated projects also feature among the selected few: La plus précieuse des marchandises by Michel Hazanavicius (an adaptation of Jean-Claude Grumbert’s eponymous novel, produced by Ex Nihilo and Les Compagnons du cinéma) and They Shot The Piano Player [+leggi anche:
