The films that usually wash up ashore among French filmmaker Anne Fontaine’s filmography usually contain large doses of male fantasy. As we had previously witness with Nathalie…, eye candy is a label that newbie actress Louise Bourgoin wears well in The Girl From Monaco. After a successful run in French theaters, Magnolia Pictures are looking to turn a few heads with a deal that would see the film make it to screens sometime next year.
A brilliant and neurotic attorney goes to Monaco to defend a seventy-year-old criminal. But, instead of focusing on the case, he falls for a beautiful she-devil who turns him into a complete wreck… Hopefully, his zealous bodyguard will step in and put everything back in order… Or will he ?
Fontaine is now working on Coco avant Chanel – Audrey Tautou will star as Coco Chanel in a biopic about the legendary French fashion designer.
