Top 200 Most Anticipated Films for 2014: #164. Claude Lelouch’s Salaud on t’aime

Published on February 6, 2014

Salaud on t’aime

Director: Claude Lelouch
Writers: Claude Lelouch, Valerie Perrin
Producer: Jean-Paul De Vidas
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Sandrine Bonnaire, Johnny Hallyday, Jacky Ido, Irene Jacob, Valerie Kaprisky

While his 2007 film, Roman de Gare received notable art house play and served as an introduction to Lelouche’s new muse, Audrey Dana, his next film, 2010’s What War May Bring never received a US release. But we’re thinking his latest film shouldn’t follow that same fate, featuring a stellar cast, headlined by the resplendent Sandrine Bonnaire, supported by Johnny Hallyday and Jacky Ido. But then, check it out, Irene Jacob and Valerie Kaprisky are in the supporting cast.

Gist: Lelouch describes the film as being about the four cardinal points of life: love, work, friendship and family.

Release Date: With an April domestic release in France, we’re thinking this might end up at Tribeca.
