Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2010: Guillaume Canet’s Les Petits Mouchoirs

As Euro-thrillers are concerned, Canet did a formidable job with Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One). Reuniting with Cluzet and Cotillard, I’m looking forward in seeing how the actor continues to flex his muscles as a director, but this time working in matters of the heart with this dramedy.

#98. Les Petits Mouchoirs

Director/Writer: Guillaume Canet
Producers: Productions du Trésor’s Alain Attal (Ne le dis à personne)
Distributor: Rights Available.

The Gist: Every year a group of friends spend the month of August together at one of their holiday homes on the Cap Ferret. But this year, one member of the group is in a coma and as they pack their bags, the atmosphere is already tense, and the good spirits of the first few days give way to less exalted feelings when they each express their innermost doubts.

Cast: François Cluzet, Marion Cotillard, Valérie Bonneton, Benoît Magimel, Gilles Lellouche, Anne Marivin, Louise Monot, Pascale Arbillot and Jean Dujardin.

Why is it on the list?: As Euro-thrillers are concerned, Canet did a formidable job with Ne le dis à personne (Tell No One). Reuniting with Cluzet and Cotillard, I’m looking forward in seeing how the actor continues to flex his muscles as a director, but this time working in matters of the heart with this dramedy.

Release Date/Status?: Europacorp is prepping an October release back in France. Look for a big festival release to pump up foreign sales.
