IFC ‘Cut’ deal for Chabrol’s latest

With a premiere at the Venice film festival and stops over at the Toronto and New York film festivals, veteran French filmmaker Claude Chabrol is showing that he still has what it takes to garner interest fro international audiences and in this case, buyers. Today, A Girl Cut in Two (La Fille coupée en deux) was picked up by the IFC First Take for domestic release in 2008.

Winner of the Filmcritica “Bastone Bianco” Award at Venice, this is the tale of a young woman (Ludivine Sagnier – Swimming Pool) who wants to succeed in life, and whose radiance seduces those around her, falls in love with a renowned but perverse writer and marries a young, mentally unstable multimillionaire.
