French romantic comedy “This Charming Girl” and French comedy “Vanishing Goats” have joined the slate of Paris-based sales company MPM Premium, which will introduce the films to buyers at the Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris.
“This Charming Girl,” directed by Jean-Luc Gaget and co-written with Raphaële Moussafir, will be released in France by Nour Films. The cast is led by Pauline Clément (“C’est la vie,” “Intouchables,” “Maria Rêve”), Arthur Dupont (“Normandie Nue,” “Fanon,” “The Outsider”), Emilie Caen (“Ducobu”) and Karin Viard (“Polisse,” “La Famille Bélier”).
The film centers on Clémence, a quiet yet amusing Parisian, who had a complicated childhood. At the age of 30, she struggles with low self-esteem. Fate intervenes when she meets Paul, a man with a domineering personality whom everyone calls “Paul Pot.” Clémence begins to ask herself: could he be the one?
The production companies are La Féline Films, Les Films du Capitaine and Karé Productions.
“This Charming Girl” will have a market screening at Rendez-Vous on Jan. 16.
Marie Rémond’s “Vanishing Goats,” which is in post-production, stars José Garcia (“Nous Les Leroy”), Rémond, Olivia Côte (“My Donkey, My Lover and I”), Gustave Kervern (“The Perfumes,” “Effacer l’historique”), and Lolita Chammah (“Barrage”).
The film follows Élise. Nothing in her life is going well: stuck in a toxic romantic relationship, she finds herself thrown into the role of theater director following the sudden death of the famous Groutchov, whom she was the assistant to. A strange symptom called panic disorder takes hold of her. Élise tries not to show it, but her relationship with the world is totally changed as a result. Could this be an occasion for her to start looking at life differently?
It is produced by Films Grand Huit (“Ghost Trail,” “Mikado,” “Disco Boy”). French theatrical rights are held by KMBO.
MPM Premium will show a promo reel at Rendez-Vous.
