I am happy to announce that Django, the biopic about Jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt (brilliantly interpreted by Reda Kateb who was just nominated for his performance in the Best Actor category at this year’s Cesar Awards) is coming to Itunes  Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Sony and local platforms on February 6th (next Tuesday!).

"Played to Perfection" - Indiewire

“One of the Best Scores” - The Hollywood Reporter

“Musically, (…), the film is a treat” - Screen Daily

Django is the toast of 1943 Paris, thrilling audiences with his distinctive brand of “hot jazz” and charming his admirers including his muse played by Cécile de France (Hereafter, Chinese Puzzle). But even as the rise of Nazism forces Reinhardt - whose music is considered degenerate under the Third Reich - to make a daring escape from Paris, he refuses to be silenced as his music becomes a form of protest.If you missed it in the theaters, now is your chance to see this critically acclaimed film at home!

Cohen Media Group is proud to announce the US release of DOUBLE LOVER, Francois Ozon’s twisted erotic thriller loosely based on the Joyce Carol Oates novel “Lives of the Twins.” Starring Marine Vacth and Jérémie Renier, DOUBLE LOVER is scheduled to open in New York (AMC Empire, The Quad) Los Angeles, San Francisco and Philadelphia on Wednesday, February 14 followed by a national roll out.

Chloé, (Young and Beautiful’s Marine Vacth) is a fragile young woman who falls in love with her psychoanalyst, Paul (Jérémie Renier,) soon after starting therapy to try and uncover the roots of her mysterious symptoms. Several months later the couple moves in together, but Chloé discovers that her lover is keeping part of his identity a secret. Visually striking, often outrageous, and chock full of mischievous cinematic references, DOUBLE LOVER is a guilty pleasure that keeps the audience guessing.

A master at playfully exploring sexual repression and the inner lives of women, François Ozon returns with

“[Pommerat] is one of the most outstanding and creative directors working today.”— The Guardian

Once upon a time, there was a fearless little girl. A workaholic single mother. A homemade flan. And a crafty wolf. With projections, imagination, and a velvety voice, a stoic narrator guides audiences on an unforgettable adventure and a powerful rite of passage.

Visionary French director Joël Pommerat makes Little Red Riding Hood startlingly new in this contemporary staging of the oft-told fairytale. Created by Pommerat to introduce his young daughter to the magic of theater, this dynamic production of Little Red Riding Hood revolutionized the way theater is made for young people, in France and around the world. With the aim of speaking truth, Pommerat creates wholly original theater that radiates warmth, empathy, and curiosity for audiences of all ages.

Don’t miss this rare stateside performance of this celebrated landmark production!
