Tricolour Fourth: Monia Chokri Moves to France for Her Next Feature

Another small blurb in the Le film français provides us with an update on what is in the works for Monia Chokri. She might be crossing the Atlantic for fourth feature outing — for what is linked “around a phenomenon that is happening right now.” This could be anything really – social or cultural movements, the human condition or more interplays between the sexes, but the other concrete info is that La Femme de mon frère (and Falcon Lake) collaborator writer François Choquet will assist here. We expect this to be a France-Canada co-production and at the earliest, not ready until 2025 if this is indeed the next project. An actress in her own right having been in several Quebecois films and in items by the likes of Katell Quillévéré and Nicole Palo, we wouldn’t be surprised if this strictly players from France.
