Top 100 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #132. Marco La Via & Hanna Ladoul’s Funny Birds

Date:

Funny Birds

Marco La Via and Hanna Ladoul first landed on the scene (and the 2018 ACID section in Cannes) with Nous Les Coyotes which along the way was translated to “Anywhere with You” starring Morgan Saylor and McCaul Lombardi. Fast forward to October of 2022 and they landed the Catherine Deneuve, Andrea Riseborough and Saylor once again for a low budget mystery film filmed in Brussels and in the US. Funny Birds is a generational hodge-podge with damaged relationships.

Gist: Thrown together under tragic circumstances, three generations of women from the same family are forced to learn to live together on a small rural chicken farm in New Jersey, which generates moving and amusing situations.

Release Date/Prediction: We see this as a Toronto Intl. Film Fest gala premiere.
