iW NEWS | SPC Buys “Paris”
by indieWIRE (August 23, 2008)
Christophe Barratier‘s “Paris 36” (Faubourg 36), which opened the Montreal World Film Festival last night, has been acquired by Sony Pictures Classics. The company announced today a deal for U.S., Australasian and Scandinavian rights rights to the movie. Described as the story of “a bygone era in France,” the film is Barratier’s follow-up to “The Chorus” (Les Choristes). The film was produced by Jacques Perrin, and Nicolas Mauvernay and co-produced by Romain Le Grand for Pathe. “This is one of those amazing populist movies no one seems to make anymore: a big, boisterous, moving 1930’s music hall movie with perfect attention to detail in performance, cinematography, and production design,” SPC’s Michael Barker said in a statement today. “Director Christophe Barratier integrates the power and beauty of music with great visual storytelling seamlessly.” It is also set for next month’s Toronto International Film Festival.
