Max has unveiled a trio of French shows ahead of launch, with commissioning head Vera Peltekian saying “we don’t want to do a French Succession or White Lotus.“
Peltekian and French scripted boss Clémentine Bobin unveiled series about the Bataclan attacks, the gypsy community and an adaptation of a memoir by a French rabbi.
The previously-announced Bataclan series has been given title Black Lies and will co-star Laure Calamy and César-winning The Goldman Case actor Arieh Worthalter alongside Les Misérables’ Alexis Manenti and Mother And Son’s Annabelle Lengronne.
The show tells the story of a woman who cons her way into a victim’s association following the deadly attack in 2015. Produced by StudioFact Stories with June Films, the psychological thriller is directed by Just Philippot and written by Fanny Burdino, Jean-Baptiste Delafon, Samuel Doux and Alexandre Kauffmann.

Cannes Directors’ Fortnight has appointed former arthouse sales agent Julien Rejl as its new delegate general and tweaked its French name in a move to usher in a new era of inclusivity for the 60-year-old parallel sidebar.
Rejl replaces outgoing Directors’ Fortnight head Paolo Moretti who took up the role in September 2018, succeeding Edouard Waintrop who oversaw the section from 2012-2018.
France’s Directors’ Guild, or Société des Réalisateurs de Films (Srf), the body which oversees the sidebar, said his appointment had been voted on during a general assembly on June 25.
“His absolute passion, which is communicative, constructive and pluralist is what arthouse filmmakers will need in the years to come,” it said in a statement.
It added that the organisation had also voted to change its French name to La Quinzaine des Cinéastes, from its previous name of La Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at the meeting.

There’s a visceral, wordless trawl through earthly hell straining to get out from beneath the overwrought script clichés of “Tijuana Bible,” a long-awaited third feature from Frenchman Jean-Charles Hue that echoes, but doesn’t quite fulfil, the promise of his electrifying 2014 breakout “Eat Your Bones.” Following two lost souls through a veritable obstacle course of human horrors in the volatile border city of the title, Hue’s perspiration-soaked latest confirms his knack for capturing milieu, as well as his tough, blunt-force interest in everyday violence. Yet those assets are shackled here to a narrative that, with its white-savior overtones and hokey good-versus-evil dynamics, doesn’t feel half as convincing: Every time Jonathan Ricquebourg’s vigorous, tactile camerawork is permitted to lead the storytelling, the film’s pulse quickens.

Tijuana Bible
French filmmaker Jean-Charles Hue travels abroad for his long-awaited third feature Tijuana Bible. Philippe Braunstein and Axel Guyot (who also co-wrote) produced the film through Les Films d’Avalon, co-produced by Ad Vitam. English actor Paul Anderson stars alongside Mexico’s Adriana Paz and Noe Hernandez with Dp Jonathan Ricquebourg lenses. Hue’s 2011 debut The Lord’s Ride premiered in Rotterdam and his 2014 follow-up Eat Your Bones went to the Directors’ Fortnight in Cannes. Perhaps there is a tie-in with his Directors’ Fortnight preemed short Tijuana Tales (2017).

Below is a strictly personal, unapologetically idiosyncratic list of the twenty films I'm most looking forward to in 2018 and which have so far yet to be seen by any paying audiences. Among those seriously considered but ultimately excluded on the basis that they're more likely to be ready next year are Ad Astra (James Gray), Blessed Virgin (Paul Verhoeven), The Fire Next Time (Mati Diop), Late Spring (Michelangelo Frammartino), the particularly-dynamite-on-paper Martin Eden (Pietro Marcello), Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due (Abdellatif Kechiche) and Motorboats (Yuri Ancarani). I also reluctantly discarded a couple of highly tantalising projects whose status, at the time of writing, was frustratingly unclear, namely Tijuana Bible (Jean-Charles Hue) and the worryingly long-in-gestation You Can't Win (Robinson Devor). Omitted because they're made primarily for TV rather than cinemas: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman (Netflix) and Bruno Dumont's Coincoin and the Extra-Humans (Arté). Finally, Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir: Part I...

The 49th annual edition of the Cannes Film Festival’s lauded Directors’ Fortnight section announced its picks this morning. The section is a non-competitive sidebar, but members of the Société des Réalisateurs Français, which organizes the event, do dole out honors.
Directors’ Fortnight artistic director Edouard Waintrop announced the titles in a roughly 40 minute presentation Thursday. The section opens with the latest film from Claire Denis, “Un Beau Soleil Interieur,” an adaptation of Roland Barthes’ “A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments,” which stars Juliette Binoche and Gerard Depardieu. Major auteurs in the lineup include Bruno Dumont, with his musical “Jeannette: The Childhood of Joan of Arc,” and Bael Ferrara, who will return to Cannes after several years with “Alive In France,” a documentary that follows Ferrara and his band as they tour France.
Other notable titles include “The Florida Project,” Sean Baker’s follow-up to “Tangerine,” and “A Ciambra,” from “Mediterranea” director Jonas Carpignano.

Mubi is showing Jean-Charles Hue's Eat Your Bones exclusively May 16 - June 15, 2016.As befits a mélange of genre trappings and documentary contours, Jean-Charles Hue’s Eat Your Bones is riddled with elements chafing at each other—daybreak and dusk, reverent sermons and macho bluster, an outlaw’s perpetual flight and a community’s promise of stability. Opposites right out of a 1950s western, but the setting here is a Yeniche camp, a circle of trailers and tents on the rural periphery of French society. Introduced zipping across a battered meadow on the back of a motorcycle, the 19-year-old protagonist Jason (Jason François) faces a pair of imminent events: his upcoming baptism (“Christians can’t go wild,” he worries) and the return of his brother Fred (Frédéric Dorkel), fresh off a 15-year prison stint and starved for barbecue meat and nocturnal joyrides. (Their reunion is filmed from a low angle...

After two films set within a particular gypsy community in France with 2010’s The Lord’s Ride and 2014’s Eat Your Bones (which premiered at Directors’ Fortnight in 2014), Jean-Charles Hue mixes it up a bit with third feature, After the Blood of the Beasts, starring Jean-Francois Stevenin as an aging burglar trying to find the treasure he’d buried years prior in the mountains. Assisted by a local gypsy, the burglar and his son don’t find what they’re looking for and end up involved in violent confrontation with a neighboring village.

My favourite short film of 2015, Isabella Morra is a 22-minute epic by French newcomer Isabel Pagliai. It world-premiered—amid minimal-to-zero fanfare—at the gigantic International Documentary Festival Amsterdam (Idfa) in November, as part of the 'Paradocs' sidebar devoted to edgy/experimental material, mainly shorts. "Cinema verité portrait of a French suburb that demonstrates how the threat of deadly adult violence lurks below the surface of child’s play," the Idfa website drily noted. "Isabella Morra", wrote Paradocs programmer Joost Daamen, "was the daughter of an early-16th-century Italian baron. When he left his wife and eight children to amuse himself at the French court, Isabella fell under the authority of her two narrow-minded, jealous brothers. They decided she was getting too familiar with their neighbour and punished her by death. Six years later, Isabella’s sonnets and songs were published, which made her into a well-known Renaissance poet. "Twentieth-century novelist...

Family Matters: Hue’s Continued Fascination With Yenish Community
Director Jean-Charles Hue continues with the exploration of the Yenich community, a nomadic group of people that would be referred to as gypsies in passing parlance, with his third feature, Eat Your Bones, which premiered at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors’ Fortnight program. Partially autobiographical due to Hue’s (a growing multimedia artist) distant relations, the film follows his 2010 title The Lord’s Ride, utilizing some of the same non-professional cast members here as well (in reality, most of them are members of the family being depicted). While the previous film was seen as hybrid of narrative and documentary formats, Hue’s latest injects film noir tropes into its examination of familial bonds amongst a vaguely defined colony where values conflict with the staunch grip of Christianity which seems to paralyze the residents whenever they aren’t committing blatant crimes.

Jean-Charles Hue's Eat Your Bones (Mange tes morts) took home best film at Turin Film Festival. The film looks at a young man in a community of gypsies whose life is turned upside down when his half-brother returns from a long prison stint. The Hollywood Reporter said of the film, "French shotgun story combines documentary and film noir traditions for generally compelling results," after its premiere in Cannes this year. Hue cast many people of the Yeniche nomadic peoples, resulting in an authentic look into a rarely seen community. The film was selected by an international jury

Feature set against the backdrop of traveller community in France premiered at Cannes in Directors’ Fortnight
Jean-Charles Hue’s Eat Your Bones (Mange Tes Morts), set against the backdrop of France’s Yeniche traveller community, has won France’s Jean Vigo for 2014.
The hybrid film, mixing a documentary style with elements of the noir and western genres, is inspired by the real-life Dorkel gypsy family living on the outskirts of Paris which Hue has been following since 2003.
A number of Hue’s previous works including his feature The Lord’s Ride (La Bm de Seigneur) were also set against the backdrop of the community.
Eat Your Bones revolves around three Yeniche brothers who hijack a truck full of copper. The film’s title is a Yeniche insult implying the recipient has betrayed his or her ancestors.
The film is produced by Thierry Lounas of Capricci Films which is also selling the film internationally.

Last year saw a big push for family crime dramas with the release of Animal Kingdom (review) and Down Terrace and though I don’t expect we’ll see another year with two films at that particular level of excellence, I expect that The Lord’s Ride (La Bm du seigneur) may be a good contender for the part.
Written and directed by Jean-Charles Hue, this little French title focuses on Yeniche, a traveller community where respect for the elders and religious fervour go together with law breaking. Fred is both feared and respected by his people until one day, when stealing a car, he is visited by an angel. The event changes his life completely but going straight in a community that respects lawbreaking is tougher than he could have imagined and could mean his death.
I was immediately in love with this trailer which feels so much like a documentary.
