    Cohen Media Group is proud to announce the release of HEAL THE LIVING, rising French director Katell Quillévéré’s deeply affecting study of human interconnectedness. Written by Quillévéré and frequent André Téchiné collaborator Gilles Taurand (Thieves, Wild Reeds), HEAL THE LIVING’s César-nominated screenplay is based on Maylis de Kerangal’s internationally acclaimed novel The Heart, and is scheduled to open in New York on April 14 at the Quad Cinema followed by a national roll out.

    Charting with unusual sensitivity and hope how disparate lives are touched by a tragedy, HEAL THE LIVING follows how a car accident settles into motion a chain of events that affects everyone from the parents of the 17 year-old brain-dead teenage boy, to the hospital staff to a mother of two (Anne Dorval) in need of a heart transplant.  Quillévéré weaves together the multi-strand narrative with consummate grace, abetted by a remarkable ensemble cast (including Emmanuelle Seigner as the boy’s mother and Tahar

  • CinéSalon - Pater

  • May 16, 2017 from 3:30pm to 6:00pm
  • Location: FIAF Florence Gould Hall
  • Description:

    Part of CinéSalon series Liberté, Égalité, Fantasy: French Politics on Film

    This deeply engaging experiment in the representation of politics finds veteran director Alain Cavalier asking movie star Vincent Lindon to join him in an onscreen exploration of the relationship between a French president and his prime minister. Taking turns filming each other with a video camera, alternating documentary scenes of their conversations in Cavalier’s home and fictional scenes in which they act out their parts, the two artists reveal as much about themselves as about the inner workings of political life. This profoundly unusual but totally accessible hybrid of a film is a high-water mark of French political cinema. 

    "It’s politics as a movable feast, where men of power play at make-believe, a bit like in cinema."—The New York Times
