She has built a solid career resume in a very short time span with Christophe Honoré, Bertrand Bonello, Quentin Tarantino, Raoul Ruiz, Woody Allen and Michel Gondry's upcoming, "The Foam of the Days," and now Lea Seydoux is set to topline Abdellatif Kechiche's film adaptation of Blue Is a Hot Color.

Last week, we showed you a behind the scenes look at Abdellatif Kechiche's Black Venus (La Vénus Noire), this week we have a first look at what would have been the common carnival setting.

With Black Venus, Kechiche will once again compete in Venice and the voluminous almost three hour drama will surely met with the same fate: critically applauded, difficult to market in North America. I'm crossing my fingers for a TIFF North American premiere to alter the film's fate.

Working with probably his largest budget to date, Kechiche touches upon the immigrant narrative once again, but inside the context of a biographical, historical approach - Baartman is perhaps this year's most unusual choice for a biopic treatment.

Ask me what my top film of 2008 was. Simple. Abdellatif Kechiche's The Secret of the Grain (see here). Ask me what my number 2 film of the year is. Simple. Steve McQueen's Hunger (see here).
