The film adaptation of a short story by Guy de Maupassant, Une vie, the screenplay for which was written by Stéphane Brizé and Florence Vignon, will start shooting in August with a cast led by Judith Chemla (who was nominated for the César Award for Best Supporting Actress in 2013 for her role in Camille Rewinds [+see also:

The film will tell the story of Jeanne du Perthuis des Vauds’ life between the ages of 18 and 45 in the early 19th century: it is the story of a hypersensitive woman, overly sheltered and in search of the absolute, who is unable to face up to the harsh reality of the world, a story of unconquerable mourning for the lost paradise of childhood… Produced by Milena Poylo and Gilles Sacuto for TS Productions, Une vie will be co-produced by France 3 Cinéma, F Comme Film and Belgian production company Versus Production. Pre-bought by Canal+ and Ciné+, the film will also be backed by Eurimages, the Centre for Film and Audiovisual Arts of the Belgian-French Community, Wallonia-Brussels, the Upper Normandy Region, by Diaphana for distribution in France and MK2 International for sales abroad.

CNC will also be giving an advance on receipts to two films that have already received support from Arte France Cinéma, by two filmmakers whose last opuses shone at Cannes in 2013: Orpheline [+see also:
