FOCUS ON CANNES 2019: LA BELLE ÉPOQUE —NICOLAS BEDOS

LA BELLE EPOQUE

"Victor (Daniel Auteuil), a jaded sixty-something, has his life turned upside down the day that Antoine (Guillaume Canet), a flourishing entrepreneur, offers him a unique new brand of entertainment. Using a combination of theatrical artifice and historical re-enactment, his company gives its clients the opportunity to delve back into the period of their choice. Victor decides to relive the most memorable week of his existence, 40 years earlier, when he met the love of his life."

NICOLAS BEDOS

French actor-comedian-filmmaker Nicolas Bedos directs his second film, to be screened Out of Competition. French acting royalty Daniel Auteuil, Guillaume Canet, and the great Fanny Ardant star in this drama with comic underpinnings. There is no sense attending Cannes if you aren’t going to sample the latest works from French filmmakers.
