DR0EPn__samba_02_o3__8207261__1406599550

Broad Green Pictures announced today that they have acquired the US distribution rights to SAMBA, Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano’s follow-up to their 2012 smash-hit THE INTOUCHABLES.

BGP plans to release the film in the second half of 2015 in theaters across the United States and build upon the box-office success of its predecessor.

SAMBA had it’s world premiere at the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival.

The film stars a French powerhouse trio with Omar Sy, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Tahar Rahim in the latest offering from Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano whose THE INTOUCHABLES broke box office records in France and was the top grossing French-language film in the U.S. in the last decade.

The duo directed and adapted the film from Delphine Coulin’s book “Samba pour la France.” Gaumont produced SAMBA with Yann Zenou, Laurent Zeitoun and Nicolas Duval-Adassovsky from Quad Productions.

Samba (Omar Sy) has worked day and night for the last ten years, trying to support his family back in Senegal while making a life for himself in France. Thrown into detention, he meets a reclusive immigration worker, Alice (Charlotte Gainsbourg), who’s warned to keep a safe distance from the people she is helping. Desperate for excitement and meaning in her own life, Alice lets her guard down when the charming Samba is ordered to leave France. Fumbling through bottom-rung jobs with his new friend Wilson (Tahar Rahim) while trying to stay off the radar, Samba finds himself returning to the awkward solace of Alice.

Cécile Gaget, Head of Gaumont International noted. “I am very glad that Broad Green Pictures totally understood the perspective that Eric and Olivier wanted to offer with this enjoyable social romance, and we are very excited to start working all together, I trust their new vision of the market and the great team they’re putting together will bring SAMBA to a great US success”.

BGP founders and brothers, CEO Gabriel Hammond and Chief Creative Officer Daniel Hammond said, “We couldn’t be more excited to be working with such talented filmmakers whose work we so admire- we’ve been waiting for this opportunity. The remarkable performances in this film bring its themes to life in such a visceral way, and will resonate with such a diverse group of audiences. We believe that this film should reach an even larger audience than their first.”

The deal for SAMBA was negotiated by CAA, Cécile Gaget Head of Gaumont International and Gabriel Hammond for Broad Green Pictures.

Shia LeBeouf In Lars Von Trier NYMPHOMANIAC Clip

nymphomaniac_onsht

A brand new clip from Lars von Trier’s upcoming two-part film NYMPHOMANIAC has debuted online.

The public can watch these clips – or literary chapters – in the coming months leading up to the film’s world premiere in Denmark in December 2013.

From its initial launch in June, Zentropa Productions will be unveiling each chapter on the film’s website:

CHAPTER 1  is  THE COMPLEAT ANGLER
CHAPTER 2  is  JERÔME 
CHAPTER 3  is  MRS. H
CHAPTER 4  is  DELIRIUM
CHAPTER 5  is  THE LITTLE ORGAN SCHOOL
CHAPTER 6  is  THE EASTERN & WESTERN CHURCH (THE SILENT DUCK)
CHAPTER 7  is  THE MIRROR
CHAPTER 8  is  THE GUN

NYMPHOMANIAC is the wild and poetic story of a woman’s erotic journey from birth to the age of 50 as told by the main character, the self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, Joe. On a cold winter’s evening the old, charming bachelor, Seligman, finds Joe beaten up in an alleyway. He brings her home to his flat where he tends to her wounds while asking her about her life. He listens intently as Joe over the next 8 chapters recounts the lushly branched-out and multi faceted story of her life, rich in associations and interjecting incidents.

The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Stellan Skarsgård, Shia LaBeouf, Jamie Bell, Christian Slater, Connie Nielsen, Udo Kier and Willem Dafoe.

Review: ANTICHRIST

Antichrist

Director Lars von Trier has created a truly pulverizing film with ANTICHRIST. It is full of dread, full of despair. It is a horror film, but it doesn’t rely on easy scares or the cheap theatrics of B movies. It is a distant cousin to the director’s previous work, DANCER IN THE DARK, in that it is a wholly original vision that also works as a razor sharp deconstruction of the genre it belongs to.

The story is simple. A man and a woman (played by Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg) make love, while their infant son accidentally falls to his death. They take their grief to a cabin in the woods where tensions build and slowly turn into horror. Taking into account that brief plot description, you can see the classic horror film scenario: Two lovers, a secluded location, and a sin that calls for bloody retribution. Yes, the trappings of the genre are there, but Trier does not cow down to narrative expectations.

Controversy surrounding this film is not unfounded, and this is certainly not a movie for the weak of heart or for people whose moods can significantly be affected by film. ANTICHRIST  is a horror picture, a dead serious one, about overwhelming guilt and despair. Like many films and many philosophies, nature is framed as an uncaring and violent spectre, but Trier takes the idea a little further and presents the idea that nature is inherently evil, because nature is Satan’s church. We are all unwilling worshippers of sin.

Then, there is the violence. It manifests itself as physical, psychological, sexual and sometimes a combination of it all. This movie does not shy away from the profane. It is explicit in its depictions of wanton sexuality and bodily harm. Some critics accuse Trier of having created a blisteringly misogynistic film, but I do not think they were paying close enough attention. It’s a polarizing film for sure, and it is not something that you idly watch. You must endure ANTICHRIST.

Despite its content, it is an unnaturally beautiful film. Cinematographer Anthony Dod Mantle (2009 Oscar winner for Slumdog Millionaire) takes this psychosexual nightmare and makes it a work of moving art. For any cineaste that has forgotten that Trier is quite a brilliant technical craftsman, then ANTICHRIST is a great reminder.

ANTICHRIST  is in limited release Oct. 23

Von Trier’s Controversial ‘Antichrist’ Gets Picked Up By IFC

antichrist-von-trier

The film received cheers and boos alike at the Cannes film festival earlier this week, and IFC noticed.  The distribution company has picked up the rights to Lars Von Trier’s controversial, torture porn movie ‘Antrichrist.’

“Since it premiered at Cannes on Monday, we haven’t been able to stop 
talking or thinking about ‘Antichrist,’ ” IFC Entertainment president Jonathan
 Sehring said.

Starring Willem Dafoe and  Charlotte 
Gainsbourg, ‘Antichrist’ centers on a couple who, after the death of their child, decide to get away for a cabin-in-the-woods retreat.  What sets out to be a weekend of relaxation and mourning turns into horror and torture.

Many who saw the film believe Von Trier stepped over the line in his depiction of some of the more brutal scenes.  Most who saw it claim there is no way the film will be released as is without an NC-17 rating.  Controversy sparked early this week, as well, when certain movie bloggers around the internet decided to spoil certain aspects of the film’s ending.  One such blogger claimed that he would rather spoil a film that he had no interest in anyone seeing.  Needless to say, this caused quite the uproar amongst fellow film sites.

With the controversy surrounding it, IFC will look to distribute ‘Antichrist’ as soon as possible.  When a relese date hits, we’ll be sure to let you know.
