U.S. Distributor: Rights Available

His last directorial outing, On Tour, snagged him a Best Director award at 2010 Cannes, yet many don’t seem to realize that the prolific actor has such four directorial features under his belt, the latest being this project produced by Alfama films, the production company behind David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis, as well as another host of exciting upcoming titles from Guadagnino, Monte Hellman, and Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet. Amalric turns to author Georges Simenon for inspiration, whose works have long been adapted by the French, including Leconte, Chabrol, and Cedric Kahn (this one was filmed in 2002 by Walter Doehner and starred Elena Anaya).
Gist: A man and woman who make love in secret in a bedroom. They desire and long for each other, even bite each other.

Toronto -- The Montreal World Film Festival on Monday gave its top jury prize to Japanese director Yojiro Takita's "Okuribito" (Departures), but saw its top audience awards go to Canadian documentary filmmaker Benoit Pilon's debut fiction drama "The Necessities of Life."
The Montreal jury, led by U.S. director Mark Rydell, gave the Grand Prix of the Americas prize to Takita's drama about an out-of-work cellist who leaves Tokyo to return to his hometown to become an undertaker.
At the same time, the festival jury also gave the Special Grand Prix award to Pilon's feature about an Inuit man suffering from tuberculosis in 1950s Quebec. The period drama also earned the most popular film nod, voted on by filmgoers, and the audience award for most popular Canadian film.
Other jury awards in Montreal include Serbian director Goran Markovic's prize as best director for "The Tour," which also grabbed the Fipresci prize.
