French on French
Thank you to The Observer’s Phillip French for your support of our baby, FRENCH FILM, which enjoyed its World Premier at the Dinard Film Festival last weekend. Philip said:
A word too for Jackie Oudney’s delightful French Film, a truthful romantic comedy about the breakdown of a relationship between a London couple and the role played in the affair by a suave movie director (a winning performance by Eric Cantona). They all deserve distribution.
Needless to say we agree, and are glad to say that we will shortly be announcing UK, US, Australian and Canadian release dates for our second, much loved, child. Meantime you can feast on the trailer and register for updates here.
