First Look Teaser for Jean-Pierre Jeunet's 'Violette' with Leïla Bekhti

"You can't be at peace with life, unless you're at peace with death." Studiocanal has revealed the must see first look teaser trailer for the French film titled Violette, the latest from beloved French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet (also of Delicatessen, The City of Lost Children, Alien: Resurrection, Amélie, A Very Long Engagement, Micmacs). It's his next since that sci-fi disaster Bigbug a few years ago and looks much, much better. French-Algerian actress Leïla Bekhti (from All That Glitters, "Beirut", "Midnight Sun", "The Eddy") stars as the titular Violette. Based on the international bestseller "Fresh Water for Flowers." The peaceful life of Violette, a cemetery caretaker in a small town in Burgundy, is disrupted when a local police chief's arrival uncovers long-buried secrets, pushing her to confront her past to take another chance on life and love. The new movie also features Matthias Schoenaerts, Melvil Poupaud, Anouk Grinberg, Sergio Castellitto, Alban Lenoir, and Elodie Batard Gaultier. This feels much more like something similar to Jeunet's classic Amelie than his more dark & weird sci-fi films previously. This looks absolutely wonderful so far! Still not entirely sure what is going on with her, but excited to watch and find out more. View below. // Continue Reading ›
