David Glasser’s 101 Studios has acquired the U.S. rights to “La Belle Epoque,” a French comedy from director Nicolas Beods starring Daniel Auteuil and Guillaume Canet, the distributor announced Wednesday.
“La Belle Epoque” first premiered out of competition at the Cannes Film Festivall, followed by a North American premiere at TIFF in 2019. 101 Studios has now slated the film for a spring 2020 U.S. theatrical release.
Auteuil and Canet star with Dora Tillier, Fanny Ardant and Pierre Arditi in the comedy that’s been described as a high-concept, Charlie Kaufman-esque narrative of romance and the irresistible allure of the past.
