Cosmopolis spearheads Kinology’s line-up
With an abundant line-up of 19 titles, next Wednesday French international seller Kinology will hit the Film Market at the 64th Cannes Film Festival (May 11-22).
Grégoire Melin’s team will be hoping for success with two titles in the official selection: Mexican director Everardo Gout’s Days of Grace (co-produced by France’s ARP), in the Midnight Screenings section; and Antoine Charreyron’s The Prodigies (see news) in the educational screenings programme.
Standing out in pre-production is David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, based on Don DeLillo’s homonymous novel. Co-produced by France (Alfama Films) and Canada (Prospero Pictures), the film – which will start shooting at the end of May in Toronto – stars Robert Pattinson, Paul Giamatti, Juliette Binoche and Samantha Morton. Also of note is Andy Byatt and Cyril Barbançon’s French 3D documentary project Hurricane.
The market line-up also includes four world premieres of French films: Emmanuel Mouret’s comedy The Art of Love (starring François Cluzet); Delphine Kreuzer’s Dubai Flamingos (see news), featuring Vanessa Paradis; Saphia Azzedine’s Mon Père Est Femme de Ménage [+see also:

Kinology will start sales for Sylvie Testud’s French/Luxembourg/Belgian co-production Life of Another, which has just finished shooting with Juliette Binoche (see news). The line-up also comprises three French films still in production: Quentin Dupieux’s Wrong (see news); Pierre Rambaldi’s Les Tribulations d'une Caissière (“The Tribulations of a Checkout Girl”), starring Déborah François; and You Don’t Choose Your Family by Christian Clavier, who stars alongside Jean Reno in this satirical comedy set in Thailand.
Highlights among the titles in post-production are Carles Torrens’s Spanish-produced, English-language fantasy film Emergo (scripted by Rodrigo Cortes); Alexandre Heboyan and Benoît Philippon’s French 3D feature Mune; Frank Henry’s French/Luxembourg/Belgian co-production De Force (“By Force”, see news); and two films that attracted a great deal of attention during the Cannes selection process: Upside Down by Juan Solanas and Rebellion by Mathieu Kassovitz (see news).
