La chambre bleue
Director: Mathieu Amalric
Writers: Mathieu Amalric, Stephanie Cleau
Producers: Alfama Films’ Paulo Branco
U.S. Distributor: Rights Available
Cast: Mathieu Amalric, Lea Drucker, Stephanie Cleau
His last directorial outing, On Tour, snagged him a Best Director award at 2010 Cannes, yet many don’t seem to realize that the prolific actor has such four directorial features under his belt, the latest being this project produced by Alfama films, the production company behind David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, as well as another host of exciting upcoming titles from Guadagnino, Monte Hellman, and Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet. Amalric turns to author Georges Simenon for inspiration, whose works have long been adapted by the French, including Leconte, Chabrol, and Cedric Kahn (this one was filmed in 2002 by Walter Doehner and starred Elena Anaya).
Gist: A man and woman who make love in secret in a bedroom. They desire and long for each other, even bite each other.
