One among the many film that I didn’t get the op to see at this year’s Cannes, and now thanks to Koch Lorber Films and Red Envelope Entertainment, I’ll get my second chance. The Hollywood Reporter reports that the pair will distribute the film – Koch Lorber plans to screen the film in several U.S. fests before an early 2008 New York release, followed by a national theatrical rollout. Red Envelope parent company Netflix will offer a day-and-date video release with Koch Lorber DVD later next year.
Waterlilies (Naissance des Pieuvres) is writer-director Céline Sciamma's first film –it premiered in the Un Certain Regard section. This coming-of-age drama is set during the summer in a new suburb outside Paris. Nothing to do but look at the ceiling. Marie, Anne and Floriane are 15. Their paths cross in the corridors at the local swimming pool, where love and desire make a sudden, dramatic appearance.
