2019 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: #57. Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre – Mustang

Date:

Having gone into production in November of 2017 and not having a festival berth in 2018 meant that the Sundance 2019 was part of the long game after-all for Mustang. With a full year in post production, French actress Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre has gone through the entire “Sundance” process – having her short film Rabbit (2014) presented there, earning slots at both Sundance Directors and Screenwriters Labs – we interviewed the filmmaker back in 2016). Connie Britton, Matthias Schoenaerts, Josh Stewart, Bruce Dern, Gideon Adlon and Jason Mitchell star.
