Exclusive: First image released of Rampling in tale of identity loss and contemporary alienation.
TF1 Studio will launch sales on Italian director Andrea Pallaoro’s drama The Whale, starring Charlotte Rampling as a woman undergoing an identity crisis, at the upcoming Efm.

Pallaoro co-wrote the screenplay with long-time collaborator Orlando Tirado.
