With Vincent de Brus’s latest two films, the French international sales company Roissy Films, directed by Raphaël Berdugo, proved particularly active during the Cannes Film Market. One already completed film, L’Antidote —starring Christian Clavier, the late Jacques Villeret, and Thierry Lhermitte— concluded its final sales with Hungary (Best Hollywood) and Italy (Vegas). As the international sales manager for Roissy Films revealed, L’Entente cordiale, the director’s new project (starring Daniel Auteuil and Christian Clavier), currently in production, was pre-sold to Falcon (Germany), Vegas Multimedia (Italy), Videosonic (Greece), Paradigme (Hungary), Benelux (Elysée), and to Portugal and Switzerland.
