Catherine Deneuve in Melbourne
We are delighted to announce that legendary screen icon, Ms. Catherine Deneuve, is en route from France to arrive in Australia as a guest of the Alliance Française French Film Festival.
"Catherine Deneuve is the living embodiment of all that is great about France's film industry and her visit will make the 2008 event a profoundly memorable occasion," said Jean-Jacques Garnier, Cultural Attaché to the French Consulate-General, and the Festival's Artistic Director.
Famed for her artistry, great beauty and cinematic collaborations with directors such as Jacques Demy, Luis Bunuel, Roman Polanski, François Truffaut, Claude Berri, François Ozon and Lars von Trier, Ms. Deneuve will visit Palace Cinema Como this Tuesday March 18 at 8pm to introduce a special screening of her latest film, AFTER HIM (Après Lui) in which she stars as a distraught mother who develops an obsessive interest in her late son's best friend.
