IFC Films is reuniting with Claire Denis and Juliette Binoche and has acquired US rights to her imminent Berlin world premiere Fire (aka Both Sides Of The Blade) starring Juliette Binoche, Vincent London and Grégoire Colin.
The distributor plans a summer release on the story about a love triangle. Binoche plays Sara, who lives happily in Paris with Jean (London). When Sara spots her old flame and Jean’s former best friend Francois (Colin) in the street she is overcome with the notion her life could suddenly change.
Francois and Jean get back in touch with each other and things begin to spiral out of control.
Denis co-wrote Fire with Christine Angot. The cast includes Mati Diop, Bulle Ogier, Issa Perica, and Hana Magimel. Curiosa Film produced with associate producer Jacqueline de Croÿ of Dear Gaia Films.
IFC Films collaborated with Denis and Binoche on Let The Sunshine In, White Material, Clouds Of Sils Maria, Certified Copy and Non-Fiction.
IFC Films president Arianna Bocco said, “We are honoured to partner with Claire and Juliette once again on FIRE and bring a major talent like Vincent Lindon into the IFC Films family. We are thrilled to be a home to these talented artists and underscore our decades-long commitment to bringing the best in French cinema to audiences in the United States.”
Bocco negotiated the deal with Wild Bunch International, Anton and CAA Media finance on behalf of the filmmakers.
