Croque Croisette: Bouchareb’s Outside the Law and Tavernier’s The Princess of Montpensier

Date:

To the east of the Majestic and parallel to the Palais Steps we have items to grab the attention of French passer-byers. Andrei Konchalovsky’s Nutcracker 3D – which stars John Turturro and Elle Fanning, you’ve got Wild Bunch promoting the next project from the Microcosmos duo with The Field of Enchantment and more family film fair with remake of The Karate Kid.

Nearby we have the French one-sheets for Outside the Law – the many faces from Rachid Bouchareb’s film were previously part of an ex-quo Best Actor prize for Indigènes. Finally we’ve got another Main Comp title in Bertrand Tavernier’s The Princess of Montpensier – which I’m going to take a wait and see approach and consider it for my final day of screenings on Sunday the 23rd. That’s actress Mélanie Thierry on the cover.
