Film that was deemed too close to current events for Cannes set to open Toronto’s Platform showcase.
French director Bertrand Bonello’s highly charged and well-received feature Nocturama - about a group of young, anti-establishment revolutionaries who orchestrate a series of symbolic bomb attacks across Paris - opened in France today (Aug 31).
Its release comes as the country and the rest of Europe remains on high alert following a series of deadly terror attacks over the last 18 months by supporters of the so-called Islamic State militant group.
Bonello conceived and wrote a first draft in 2010 while working on his period drama House of Tolerance (L’Apollonide), eventually shooting the production in the summer of 2015.
The project was born out of his desire to make an “ultra contemporary’, genre-style picture - as a counterpoint to House of Tolerance - and also explore an explosive, social tension he had felt in the air in France for some time...

Studiocanal requests that exhibitors remove terror plot thriller from programmes.
French studio Studiocanal requested that French exhibitors remove terror plot thriller Bastille Day from their screens over the weekend in the light of the deadly attack in Nice last week in which 84 people died.
The thriller, starring Idris Elba as a CIA agent sent to Paris to foil a terror plot, opened on 237 screens in France last Wednesday, the eve of the deadly attack on July 14.
A Studiocanal spokeswoman said the company had made a request to exhibitors on Saturday to de-programme the film from their schedules.
“Certain aspects of the film are out of sync with the current mood of reflection in the nation,” a spokeswoman told French news agency Afp, adding the company could not force the exhibitors to comply with its request.
The film had already juggled its release date following last year’s November attacks in Paris.

Watching landmarks being blown up used to be thrilling. But can we enjoy films like Bastille Day, Made in France and London Has Fallen in the same way after the Paris and Brussels attacks?
In London Has Fallen, the Italian prime minister is on the roof of one of Westminster Abbey’s towers, canoodling with a woman 30 years his junior. This Berlucsconian cliche is ostensibly in town, along with other world leaders, for the funeral of his British counterpart.

Too busy with the baby for pampering?
Try out Mustela’s Bebe line of skin care products on yourself for a little pick-me-up.
Made in France, the hypoallergenic and alcohol-free products not only hydrate and protect the delicate skin of babies, but work wonders on overworked moms as well.
I especially like the PhysiObebe No Rinse Cleaning Fluid ($14.50/10 oz) with aloe vera, for removing make-up or stubborn dirt. It left my face feeling super clean, yet moist and fresh.
In addition to the bottles of the cleanser, Mustela also sells Facial Cleansing Cloths with PhysiOBebe ($7.50/25 wipes), which can be used for cleaning the faces of both mom and baby, or for a quick sponge bath for infants.
I also like the Hydra Bebe Body Lotion ($14/10 oz), made with Vitamin E, Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter because of its non-greasy, absorbent consistency. And the signature Mustela scent — a subtle, light fragrance...
