Emmanuel Mouret’s “Love Affair(s),” Samir Guesmi’s “Ibrahim” and Elie Wajeman’s “Night Doctor” won top prizes at Colcoa, the French film and TV festival.
The festival, which marked its 25th edition, wrapped at the DGA on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles on Nov. 7. It was attended by 14,000 people.

Emmanuel Mouret’s semi-circular Love Affair(s), aka The Things We Say, The Things We Do starring Camélia Jordana, Niels Schneider, Vincent Macaigne, Guillaume Gouix, Julia Piaton, Émilie Dequenne, and Jenna Thiam, produced by Frédéric Niedermayer has received a record 13 César nominations and is an éclair of a highlight in New York’s Rendez-Vous with French Cinema.
Unlike Nicole Garcia's Lovers, Mouret presents us with characters who seem to be under no economic or, God forbid, existential straits. Love Affair(s), not as circular as Marcel Ophüls’ La Ronde based on Schnitzler’s play, but with just as many entanglements, explores love lives in turmoil. Shot by Laurent Desmet (Mouret’s Lady J), the soundtrack runs the gamut from Clair de Lune to Peer Gynt and back. Their jobs (documentary editor, translator, in the building...

Nathalie Baye to play prying mother
PARIS -- French actress Nathalie Baye has inked a deal to play a domineering and possessive mother who interferes in her son's sex life in 36 Rue des Acacias, the film's producer Frederic Niedermayer said Friday. The French film, to be shot early next year, is directed by first-timer Martial Fougeron and scripted by Fougeron and Florence Eliakim. Niedermayer said it was too early to divulge more details about the project, which will be produced by Moby Dick Films. Baye, who played the doting but self-centered French mother in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can, recently starred in Noemie Lvovsky's Les Sentiments, a romantic comedy that opened early this month in Paris.
