is set to world premiere 10 anticipated movies that are part of Cannes’s 2020 Official Selection.
Other non-U.S. pics from Cannes set for Deauville include Francis Lee’s British film “Ammonite” and Yeon Sang-ho’s South Korean movie “Peninsula.” The only American movie of the pack, Jonathan Nossiter’s “Last Words,” will play in competition. Barde said he contacted Fremaux immediately when hearing that Cannes could be threatened by the health crisis. “I told Thierry to say that Deauville would be honored to welcome Cannes and showcase a selection of films, and once the decision was made to not hold the physical edition, I renewed my invitation officially,” said Barde, adding that he considers Cannes as the “backbone of cinema” and holds Fremaux in “high esteem.
“A festival is meant to be a celebration of cinema; we’re no longer at a time where the “every man for himself” motto can work, we have to welcome each others’ films to make sure that these movies get exposure,” said Barde. “Extraordinary circumstances call for extraordinary measures, and we’re happy to be unveiling Marie-Castille Mention-Schaar’s film ‘A Good Man’ at Deauville with a real audience,” said the film’s distributor Eric Lagesse at Pyramide.
Aside from those Cannes-labeled films, Deauville will showcase some 70 American films, including 14 films in competition — on par with last year.
