Azazel Jacobs’s “French Exit,” the story of a New York socialite who jettisons her old life for a new one in Paris, has been selected as the closing night feature of the 58th New York F…
In “French Exit,” Pfeiffer plays Frances Price, widow who has lost her fortune. Her impending financial ruin causes her to move to a friend’s empty Paris apartment with her son, Malcolm , and their cat, Small Frank . “French Exit” is an adaptation of Patrick deWitt’s novel of the same name. It’s a Sony Pictures Classics release.
“NYFF is the film festival I grew up attending,” said Jacobs. “I remember seeing ‘Night On Earth’ for the first time, and waiting afterwards to hand Jim Jarmusch a fan letter. I remember that same year seeing Gus Van Sant’s ‘My Own Private Idaho’ and having my aim to become a filmmaker only more solidified. I’m grateful to the NYFF for allowing ‘French Exit’ to premiere in the city I was raised in, and love, and to all who are undoubtedly working tirelessly to make this event happen.
Steve McQueen’s “Lovers Rock,” a love story set during a blues party, will be the festival’s opening night film.
