ARAB BLUES<\/a>, which is currently in post-production, is Manele Labidi\u2019s first feature, starring Golshifteh Farahani (Paterson<\/em>, About Elly<\/em>, Two Friends<\/em>, and seen recently in French comedy box-office hit Santa & Inc<\/em>) in the lead role.<\/p>\n

Set in contemporary Tunisia after the Arab Spring, the film follows Selma, a psychoanalyst who wrestles with a cast of colorful new clients after returning home to Tunisia to open a practice.<\/p>\n

mk2 films will premiere first footage at the Paris Unifrance Rendez-Vous.<\/p>\n

For Juliette Schrameck, Managing Director of mk2 films: \u201cARAB BLUES<\/a> is a sweet folly, full of vitality and humor\u2026 Yet, this is a sophisticated comedy in the way it also offers a fascinating window into modern Tunisia at a crossroads. This is a story of contrasts, contradictions and culture clashes, and at its heart, a tale of an outsider, who, much like her country, is on a quest for her identity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kazak Productions is producing the feature, which is due for delivery in the first half of 2019. Diaphana has acquired rights for the French distribution.<\/p>\n

ARAB BLUES<\/a> is the first of two films to be launched by mk2 films at the Paris Rendez-Vous, with Robert Gu\u00e9diguian\u2019s GLORIA MUNDI<\/a> also included in this exciting duo.<\/p>\n

This is Robert Gu\u00e9diguian\u2019s twenty-first feature, and his third time collaborating with mk2 films, following DON’T TELL ME THE BOY WAS MAD<\/a> (Official Selection, 2015 Cannes Film Festival) and THE HOUSE BY THE SEA<\/a> (2017 Venice Film Festival Competition).\u00a0The latter was one of the most successful French art-house films to hit the theaters in 2018, racking in high admissions in Europe, in key territories like Italy (105.758 adm.), Spain (61.288 adm.) and Scandinavia (33.085 adm.).<\/p>\n

Reuniting with his regular cast of actors \u2014 Ariane Ascaride, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, G\u00e9rard Meylan, Ana\u00efs Demoustier, Robinson St\u00e9venin, Gr\u00e9goire Leprince-Ringuet \u2014 Robert Gu\u00e9diguian returns with GLORIA MUNDI<\/a> to his native land of Marseille. There, a family gathers for the birth of baby Gloria. But despite the joy, they have fallen on hard times. But Gloria\u2019s ambitious uncle has a new business idea, which could be a way out of their tough situation.<\/p>\n

At a crossroads between Snows of Kilimandjaro<\/em> and THE HOUSE BY THE SEA<\/a>, GLORIA MUNDI<\/a> is a powerful social drama that sees Robert Gu\u00e9diguian exploring some of his favorite themes, and dissecting with utmost precision the fabric of the family unit.<\/p>\n

\u201cRobert is here at his very best, so we are naturally thrilled to be collaborating with him again on this special project. This is a tale of the modern working-class, as sharp in its portrayal of the violence and cruelty of our world as it is optimistic, with thunderbolts of humor and humanity. It is a resolutely honest and relevant story, but more importantly it is a deeply universal and accessible one\u201d says Juliette Schrameck.<\/p>\n

GLORIA MUNDI<\/a> is produced by Agat Films & Ex-Nihilo, with Diaphana on board for the French Distribution.<\/p>\n
