The French film centre will also support films by Clément Cogitore, Baya Kasmi, Nicolas Philibert, Sophie Fillières, Sébastien Betbeder, Mathieu Vadepied and Dominique Abel & Fiona Gordon. Eight projects were selected during the 5th and final 2020 session of the Cnc’s second committee for pre-production advances on receipts. Stealing focus amongst these projects we find Les Amandiers, which will be the 5th fiction feature directed by Valeria Bruni Tedeschi following on from It’s Easier For A Camel (the winner of the 2003 Louis Delluc Best First Film Award), The Summer House (screened out of competition in Venice 2018) and two films previously selected for Cannes: Actresses (gracing the Un Certain Regard section in 2007) and A Castle in Italy (in competition in 2013). Her new work will plunge us back into the universe of the Nanterre-Amandiers Theatre, as helmed by Patrice Chéreau at the beginning of the 1990s, training young...

There are precious few things we know about Valeria Bruni Tedeschi after watching her film “The Summer House” that we did not know before. But here’s one: The writer-director-star understands how her detractors perceive her. And so unfolds an early scene that seems designed to head the inevitable criticisms off at the pass: At a financing meeting for her new film, director Anna (Bruni Tedeschi) faces a panel of nonplussed producers who complain that her next project is the same as all her others and that her screenplay is “fragile.”
The scene is an amusingly brittle comedy of manners with the director, as ever, gamely ready to cast herself as the ditz. But it is also pointedly metatextual and has credibility-laden documentary guru Frederick Wiseman in it, gnomically sitting on the panel looking as baffled to be there as we are to see him. For a moment it seems like Bruni Tedeschi,...

Franco-Italian actor-director Valeria Bruni Tedeschi continues her series of semi-autobiographical films with The Summer House (Les estivants). The multihyphenate here keeps things even closer to home than usual, not only casting her own mother as her character’s mother again but also her own daughter as her character’s offspring, with actress and pal Valeria Golino playing her sister (in real life, the former first lady of France, Carla Bruni). On top of that, Bruni Tedeschi actually plays a filmmaker who is trying to work on the screenplay of her next project. But she keeps getting sidetracked by the family members ...
