ANYTHING YOU SAY (Mon idole)
Drama/Comedy
Directed by: Guillaume Canet
Written by: Guillaume Canet, Philippe Lefèbvre
With: Guillaume Canet, François Berléand, Diane Kruger, Clotilde Courau
Guillaume Canet’s first feature as co-writer/director is a satire of reality TV and television in general. Canet also stars in the film as Bastien, a young and naïve production assistant fascinated with the outrageous and cruel personality of famous TV producer Jean-Louis Broustal (François Berléand, A Girl Cut in Two, Comedy of Power, Edy (COL•COA 2006), The Chorus). Amused by the young man’s fascination, Broustal pretends to see potential in him and invites him to spend a weekend at his residence. Over the weekend, as he gets to know the cruel and insane aspect of Broustal’s personality, Bastien also uncovers the real reason of this apparently generous invitation. What should have been a pleasant weekend turns into a nightmare.
THURSDAY APRIL 17 - 2:00pm - Theatre 2

As in the Bluebeard story, her husband keeps his dark secrets locked in a mysterious room, which she grows more and more curious to open while fearing he may be plotting to kill her.
