Bozon’s “La France”
Variety‘s Robert Koehler told me an hour ago in the press room that Serge Bozon‘s La France, a World War I musical with Sylvie Testud, Pascal Greggory and Guillaume Depardieu, is the best Director’s Fortnight film he’s seen by far. (He had just come from the screening.) Will HE get around to it? Doubtful, but at least I’ll be looking for it down the road. I will, however, finally see Anton Corbijn‘s Control, the black-and-white Ian Curtis suicide flick, at 6 pm.
Will HE ever get around to seeing any film that doesn’t already have stateside distribution?
Not bloody likely!
I assume Jeff holds a grudge against Ian Curtis because Age of Consent appeared in the Marie Antoinette trailer. (If anyone writes to tell me he died in the early ’80s, I will beat you with your own legs.)
I guess that was New Order, but if he hadn’t hanged himself, there’d be no New Order. Or hung himself, as Jeff would say.
