Cedric Kahn Seeks ‘A Better Life’ for Guillaume Canet and Leila Bekhti

Date:

One more nugget of French film production news from this report, Roberto Succo and Red Lights filmmaker Cedric Kahn is setting up his next project for the month after the holidays. Reported a couple of days ago, Guillaume Canet and Leila Bekhti are toplining Une Vie Meilleure which certainly addresses many of the concerns that couples of currently facing – credit card debt, late home payments et al. 

Guillaume Canet and Leila Bekhti Kahn

Gist: Co-scripted by Cedric Kahn and Catherine Paille, this centers around Yann (Guillaume Canet), a man who will try everything to save her marriage and her family’s debt.

Worth Noting: Kahn’s last two films haven’t been picked up for U.S distribution, this includes his 2009 pic Les Regrets – a romantic drama starring Yvan Attal and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi which was showcased at the Rome, London, and Palm Springs Film Fests.

Do We Care?: We wish that Cedric Kahn was somewhat more prolific with his work — he tends to take too much time between his films. We hope that this will play out in North American theaters.
