Strand Releasing is proud to announce the US release of STAYING VERTICAL, French writer-director Alain Guiraudie’s new provocative and genre-defying character study about a filmmaker struggling with creativity, responsibility, fatherhood, and sexuality. A selection of the 2016 Cannes Film Festival competition and the New York Film Festival, STAYING VERTICAL is scheduled to open in New York on Friday, January 20 at The Film Society of Lincoln Center and the IFC Center, followed by a national roll out.

Léo (Damien Bonnard), a blocked filmmaker seeking inspiration in the French countryside for an overdue script, begins an affair with a shepherdess (India Hair), with whom he almost immediately has a child. Combining the formal control of his 2013 breakthrough Stranger by the Lake with the shape-shifting fabulism of his earlier work, Alain Guiraudie’s new film, which often veers towards surreal black comedy, is a sidelong look at the human cycle of birth, procreation, and death, as well as

Le temps passe, une évidence … qui pourtant ne cesse de surprendre les jeunes trentenaires ! Se reconnaître chez ses propres parents (y compris dans les travers décriés), décrocher d’avec la technologie ou réaliser que l’on parle comme ce qu’il est désormais convenu d’appeler ‘un vieux’. Après le difficile réveil, le sursaut : existe-t-il une solution au déclassement générationnel ?

Pour ce premier seule-en-scène, Alix Morris, dresse un constat, critique mais plein de tendresse, puisant dans son expérience et dans celles des autres ‘vieux’ qui l’ont précédée.

New restoration of Julien Duvivier's classic French film noir.

In the end-of-the-tramway-from-Paris suburb Villejuif (you do the translation), suspicion and gossip run rampant.  Immediate:  last night’s murder of an old maid in that vacant lot near the church.  Ongoing: bearded, aloof shutterbug Michel Simon’s Monsieur Hire (real name: the “foreign”-sounding Hirovitch).  Is he a peeping tom? A pervert? Not the ideal spot for back-from-the-slammer Viviane Romance to start a new life – but then there’s sleazy old flame Paul Bernard hanging around. (Did she take the rap for him?) And her very open window is just across from Hire’s – who proves to have another life, even as two blind loves take their course. Long unseen anywhere, Duvivier’s first film back in France after a WWII Hollywood stint has steadily gained stature, not least because it's that rare thing: an adaptation of Belgian crime titan Georges Simenon that’s actually darker than the original (his novel Mr. Hire’s Engagement), w
