Dopo lo straordinario e poco fortunato I miei giorni più belli, Arnaud Desplechin è di nuovo al lavoro con Ismaël’s Ghosts.
Interpretato da un quartetto di attori francesi straordinari – Mathieu Amalric, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Marion Cotillard e Louis Garrel – il film è un racconto di cinema.
Ismaël Vuillard makes films. He is in the middle of one about Ivan, an atypical diplomat inspired by his brother. Along with Bloom, his master and father-in-law, Ismaël still mourns the death of Carlotta, twenty years earlier. Yet he has started his life over again with Sylvia. Sylvia is his light. Then Carlotta returns from the dead. Sylvia runs away. Ismaël rejects Carlotta. Driven mad by these ordeals, he abandons the shoot for his family home in Roubaix. There, he lives as a recluse, besieged by his ghosts.
Questa è la prima immagine del film. Probabile che sia a Cannes in primavera.
