The Franco-American Cultural Fund has announced that the acclaimed dramedy LA BELLE EPOQUE, which premiered in May at the Cannes Film Festival (Official Selection, Out of Competition), will have its U.S. Premiere and run for the COLCOA Awards.
COLCOA runs Monday, September 23 – Saturday, September 28 in the newly renovated theatre of the Directors Guild of America, on Saturday September 28 to close this year’s festival.
Starring Daniel Auteuil, Guillaume Canet, Doria Tillier, and Fanny Ardant, the film is an ingenious, time-traveling romantic farce involving a theatrical troupe that meticulously creates historical reenactments and a misanthrope who longs to reexperience the most significant moment of his life.
