2013 Cannes Film Festival Predictions: Pascale Ferran’s Bird People

#43. Pascale Ferran’s Bird People

Gist: Starring an acting mix of Radha Mitchell, Josh Charles, Anaïs Demoustier, Clark Johnson and Roschdy Zem, this takes place in the Paris area between an airport and an international hotel in its zone. All sorts of people are there, either in transit or because they live or work in this zone. This very contemporary film tries to describe today’s world but also the hopes and dreams of each and everyone within a social environment marked by the outbreak of the supernatural.

Prediction: After shoring up at the festival with Le Baiser (1990), La sentinelle (1992), Petits arrangements avec les morts (1994) we were thinking that she’d be present with Bird People especially since production took place around mid-2012 (here is visual proof). According to this publication, the latest from Lady Chatterley helmer won’t be ready, in fact, we might wait an entire year. Up until last week we were thinking a possible Un Certain Regard showing looking at the Main Comp from the outside if the tally was too fierce.
