The triumph of art is when it breaks all geographical and language barriers. Cannes is being swept away by a distinctly Indian flavour this year, whether it is the felicitation of Indian artists or the standing ovations Indian films are receiving. We are truly crossing over, one movie at a time.
It’s not just Indian cinema that is going global, though; international cinema is going Indian in more ways than one too. PVR Pictures’ upcoming release Notre-Dame On Fire is an internationally applauded French-language film coming to Indian screens.
Helmed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Jean-Jacques Annaud, starring Samuel Labarthe, Jean-Paul Bordes and Mickaël Chirinian, among others, the film tells the story of the Notre-Dame cathedral fire that shocked the whole world.
Early reviews have already praised the film for the tense visual spectacle. Jean-Jacques Annaud’s rich storytelling has always fetched praises, and his latest attempt at artistically capturing a real event seems to be no exception. Talking about bringing the much-awaited film to Indian screens, Kamal Gianchandani, CEO of PVR Pictures Ltd., says, “PVR Pictures has always put faith in powerful stories, and Notre-Dame On Fire is one such soul-stirring tale. Audiences will be gripped by the movie’s thrilling re-enactment of the event while also being moved by its core message of humanity and courage”.
Block your calendars for the 24th of June.
