Celle que vous croyez
For his sixth film, Celle que vous croyez, France’s Safy Nebbou assembles an all-star cast led by Juliette Binoche, Nicole Garcia, Charles Berling, Guillaume Gouix, Francois Civil, Marie-Ange Casta, Claude Perron and Jules Houplain. Produced by Michel Saint-Jean of Diaphana Films, the project is being co-produced through Scope Pictures and France 3 Cinema. Cinematographer Gilles Portes (known for the film When the Seas Rises, co-directed by himself and Yolande Moreau in 2004) lensed the production. Nebbou is best known for his 2008 title Mark of Angel, a melodrama based on a true story starring Catherine Frot and Sandrine Bonnaire.
Gist: Co-written by Nebbou and Julie Peyr based on a novel by Camille Laurens, the narrative focus is 50-year-old Claire, a divorced mother of two who decided to spy on Ludo, her untrustworthy lover by creating a fake Facebook profile page using the picture and statistics of a comely twenty-something. Claire becomes Clara, and proceeds to digitally seduce Ludo’s friend Alex. Soon, one thing leads to another…
Release Date/Prediction: Nebbou went into production in early 2018. We’re assuming this will have a local theatrical release in France this coming February, with potential festival play at local European film festivals – perhaps Berlin, but more likely Tribeca or one of the French flavored fests.
