    The 22nd edition of the French Film Tour arrives in San Miguel de Allende!

    Seven French films accompanied by 17 Mexican short films make up the 2018 edition.

    The French Film Tour is an itinerant exhibition that presents the best selection of contemporary French films.

    The films that make up this 22nd edition of the Tour include the melodrama CARA DE ÁNGEL (Gueule d’ange, 2018) by filmmaker Vanessa Filho, starring Marion Cotillard who plays Marlène, a young and impetuous woman who lives with Elli, her daughter of eight years, which decides to leave suddenly by a man who knows during a night of excess. Elli will then have to fend for herself to survive. A moving story about the truncated relationship between a mother and her daughter.

    The pair formed by the filmmaker Laurent Tirard and the actor Jean Dujardin return to make an appearance (this time accompanied by the actress Mélanie Laurent) with the comedy THE RETURN OF THE HERO (Le retour du héros, 2018), which takes place in the France of the early nineteenth century and focuses on Captain Neuville who is called to fight in the front, leaving behind his fiancee with a broken heart. Elisabeth, her sister, decides to alleviate her grief by secretly writing letters to the Captain creating an operetta character. The situation gets complicated when he returns unexpectedly.

    From the hand of the filmmaker Édouard Deluc we approach the figure of the painter Paul Gauguin through the biographical film GAUGUIN, TRAVEL TO TAHITÍ (Gauguin – Voyage de Tahiti, 2017), which focuses on the moment in which the artist, In search of new motivations and scenarios for his painting, he decides to go into exile in Tahiti and thus move away from the moral, political and aesthetic codes of civilized Europe. Absorbed in his life as a free man and defying loneliness, poverty and disease, he meets Tehura, who would become his wife and model of his best pictures. Gauguin is played by the well-known actor Vincent Cassel.

    Cassel also participates in the suspense film WITHOUT TRACKS (Fleuve noir, 2018) by Erick Zonca, next to Romain Duris and Sandrine Kiberlain, playing the commander François Visconti, a tormented policeman with alcohol problems, who is in charge of the case of a teenager who disappeared without a trace. During the investigation, Visconti is confronted with Yan Bellaile, a teacher of the missing child who lives in the same building and is strangely eager to help in the investigation.

    Another filmmaker who returns to participate in the Tour is Philippe Le Guay with NORMANDY TO THE NUDE (Normandie nue, 2018). The film is about a small town in that region of France where farmers are in crisis. Georges Balbuzard, the charismatic mayor of the community, assumes the mission of saving them. To do this, he will try to convince the villagers to pose nude before the camera of the famous American photographer Blake Newman, who coincidentally is in the place, something that will not be easy to achieve.

    Actor Franck Dubosc writes and directs his first feature film RODANDO HACIA TI (Tout le monde debout, 2018), a comedy in which he plays Jocelyn, a successful businessman, an incorrigible conqueror and a pathological liar. Fed up with himself, he tries to seduce a beautiful young woman by posing as a paraplegic, but his plan will take an unexpected turn when it presents his sister Florence who uses a wheelchair.
