#13. Roman Polanski’s Venus In Fur
Gist: Polanski’s wife Emmanuelle Seigner stars in this off-Broadway play adaptation about an actress trying to convince a director that she is perfect for a part in an upcoming production. Mathieu Amalric co-stars as the director.
Prediction: Polanski has been on the Croisette on a handful of occasions dating back to Macbeth in ’72, he of course won the 2002 Palme d’Or for The Pianist, and was actually at the fest last year with 79’s Tess as a Cannes Classics selected Director. This is poised for a Out of Comp or Special Screening slot.
