In “Grand Central,” Rebecca Zlotowski‘s nuclear melodrama starring Lea Seydoux and Tahar Rahim, the director made an impression with her striking visuals and careful handle on tone. Now Natalie Portman has signed up to star in the follow-up, “Planetarium,” with Jean-Pierre and Luc Dardenne producing.
The ensemble is rounded out by Lily-Rose Depp, Emmanuel Salinger, Amira Casar, Pierre Salvadori, and Louis Garrel, with the intriguing premise of the movie following two American sisters in 1930s Paris whose practice as supernatural mediums finds them crossing paths with a film producer. It’s definitely an original blend of ingredients, and Zlotowski has already proven herself to be a storyteller who can spin some very singular stories.
“Planetarium” doesn’t have U.S. distribution at the moment, but will screen at Venice and TIFF open in France on November 16th.
