Please don’t stop the music: Anne Fontaine isn’t done with it just yet.
Following “Boléro” — world premiering at International Film Festival Rotterdam — the noted director is developing another melodic project.
“It’s about a character who was a star at 10 years old. He had a ‘magic’ voice, but then he suddenly lost it. Years later, he is ready to come back. It’s a comedy, based on something real,” she says. Admitting that this time, she will swap classical compositions for popular tunes.
“I like songs: they are in our blood. We hear them and remember we lost a lover when they were playing. They mark our lives. There will be so much music [in this film]. And all these amazing voices, including a real-life singer making her film debut.”
New project will combine “cruelty and humor.”
“Our destiny might be cruel, but we are still able to laugh about it.
