Top 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2011: Cedric Kahn’s Une Vie Meilleure
I wouldn’t be surprised if Kahn’s last two films draw blanks for U.S cinephiles — as both L’avion (2005) and Les regrets (2009) failed to be picked up for distribution. The French are specialists in relationship dramas of the draining realistic kind, and in many ways Kahn has a knack for memorable opposite sex matched screen pairings such as Roberto Succo and 2004 film Red Lights – one of my favorite films of the 00’s. I’m liking the idea of what the pairing of Guillaume Canet and Leila Bekhti could potentially bring to the big screen.
