Kino Lorber (the new venture from Lorber Films and Kino International) have made an EFM pick up, grabbing the theatrical rights to Stéphane Brizé’s Mademoiselle Chambon – a recent winner for Best Adapted Screenplay at the Cesars this past weekend. Judging from the trailer, this appears to be distinctly Euro, and by that I mean: long takes, long pauses without dialogue and the human condition. The pic also received noms for actresses Sandrine Kiberlain (Best Actress), and Aure Atika for Best Supporting.
Jean (Vincent Lindon) is an upstanding man: a good builder, a good son, a good father, and a good husband. In his ordinary, placid life, divided between family and work, he crosses paths with Mademoiselle Chambon, his son’s teacher. He is a man of few words; she comes from a different world. They become overwhelmed by the obviousness of their feelings.
