Romantic comedy with a French accent and a love letter to theater both describe the French-language False Confessions (Les Fausses Confidences), the last film by Swiss film, theater and opera director Luc Bondy. Bondy re-sets Marivaux’s 18th century classical play about love, “Les Fausses Confidences,” in modern-day Paris, and stars Oscar-nominee Isabelle Huppert (Elle) and Louis Garrel as the would-be lovers at the center of all the twists and deceits.

Fans of director Bondy, writer Marivaux, the film’s star Isabelle Huppert or just theater in general, will find much to like in this enjoyable, clever film adaption. Passions, doubts, jealousies and tempers are all aroused in this dizzy, funny tale, in a production that blends film and theater in a creative fashion.

Antoine Blossier's creature flick 'Prey' (Aka 'Proie') is amazingly still yet to be unleashed in its home country, France. Even though it briefly popped up in theatres stateside last year those Frenchies are still waiting, but low and behold things are looking up as a couple of new clips from the movie have arrived so all things appear to be moving in the right direction. Berenice Bejo, Gregoire Colin, Isabelle Renauld, Francois Levantal, Fred Ulysse and Joseph Malerba are all on board. Check out the two new clips below....

Seeing deep signs of biting on the animals’ bodies, the farm owners realize that a predator is roaming about the neighbouring woods. Having determined to hunt it down, the farmer and his family penetrate deep into the surrounding forest. They look with bewilderment at the dying environment ravaged by a mysterious evil force. As the sun slowly sinks away, howling resounds through the forest. The hunters have become prey..." (IFC Films).
