‘Of Money and Blood’ Selected at Venice Film Festival

Canal+ and Studiocanal have announced the official selection of Of Money and Blood (12 x 52’) at the 80th Venice International Film Festival.  A Canal+ Creation Originale, based on Fabrice Arfi’s book of the same name, the series will be broadcast exclusively on Canal+ in France this autumn.

Of Money and Blood is adapted and written by Xavier Giannoli, who also directed the series alongside Frédéric Planchon, and is produced by Olivier Delbosc for Curiosa Films.  Screenplay by Xavier Giannoli and Jean Baptiste Delafon.

The series is distributed internationally by Studiocanal.

For her directorial debut, celebrated short film director Chloé Mazlo will have Sous le ciel d’Alice (translated as Under Alice’s Sky) on hand for 2020. Produced by Moby Dick Films’ Frederic Niedermayer (Mademoiselle de Joncquières), Mazlo has nabbed Italian actress Alba Rohrwacher and Lebanese-Quebecois playwright Wajdi Mouawad (Incendies, 2009) to headline the production. Cinematographer Hélène Louvart (Happy as Lazzaro, 2018; Invisible Life, 2019) is lensing the Moby Duck Films production. Mazlo’s 2015 short “The Little Stones” received a Cesar while her animated 2010 short documentary “Deyrouth” was well-received and well-traveled on the festival circuit.

Torna a casa, Jimi! Press Releases and Reviews

https://www.zerkalospettacolo.com/torna-a-casa-jimi-recensione/

...una gran bella sorpresa, un film che lancia un messaggio profondo e serissimo attraverso la leggerezza di un’avventura paradossalmente rocambolesca.

… un piccolo e prezioso gioiello che invita ad abbattere i confini attraverso l’unione, la collaborazione e la coesistenza pacifica.

https://www.nonsolocinema.com/torna-a-casa-jimi-10-cose-da-non-fare-quando-perdi-il-tuo-cane-a-cipro-di-marios-piperides.html

Una deliziosissima commedia, assolutamente da vedere, che mostra le assurdità delle guerre, delle invasioni, della politica degli umani, attraverso la storia di un cane che si perde a Cipro… Piperides, vincitore al Tribeca Film Festival per questa buffa, ingegnosa e arguta commedia, con ritmo, con un linguaggio chiaro e semplice scandito da dialoghi pungenti, è riuscito a catturare l’assurdità e la tragedia di una complicata situazione politica.

https://thespot.news/2019/04/torna-a-casa-jimi-un-allegro-paradosso-sullesistenza-dei-confini/

Decisamente un buon debutto nel mondo del lungometraggio per Marios Piperides... riesce a sfruttare in modo coinvolgente, e senza essere didascalico, la leggerezza della commedia per arrivare a fare della seria critica sociale.
