Directed by Jean Philippe Toussaint. A slippery sports/romantic comedy, this witty homage to filmmaking is the latest production of cult novelist Jean-Philippe Toussaint. Set on a real ice rink, featuring a narcissistic American star and a Lithuanian hockey team who don’t speak a word of French, Toussaint details the whimsical mishaps that befall a film director, as he and his crew frantically struggle to complete a symbolic sports opus in time for the Venice Film Festival.
Produced by Les Films des Tournelles (Paris), Le Studio Canal + Les Films de l’Etang (Bruxelles), RTL/TV1 and Fandango (Rome). Director of Photography: Jean-Francois Robin.
Cast: Tom Novembre, Mireille Perrier, Dolores Chaplin, Marie-France Pisier, Jean-Pierre Cassel, Gilbert Melki and Bruce Campell.
