We may have one Johnny Depp adaptation fast approaching (The Rum Diary opens in theaters October 28), but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about the other Johnny Depp adaptation down the line.

Additionally, it performed at Toronto. The film clearly touched local auds, generating, based on producer Rudolf Biermann, an believed $270,000 -- a hefty total for any small country with less than 20 multiplexes. Gypsy," and will be offering a tale and figures that appear to possess universal appeal, wasn't intended as commercial fare, stated Sulik, who desired to capture the existence of Roma individuals who face deep suspicion and systematic marginalization in Slovakia. For your reason he was adamant that his figures speak Romany. "I'd an interpreter by my side the entire time," Sulik stated. Many Slovaks have no knowledge about Roma culture, Sulik added, "because other product comes near interest. We desired to initiate some discussion of the problem. I believe this discussion is beginning gradually." Contact the range newsroom at news@variety.com

Carre blanc

A Solair Films production in colaboration with Tarantula. (Worldwide sales: Coach 14, Paris.) Produced by Benjamin Mamou, Jean-Baptiste Leonetti. Executive producer, Camille Havard Bourdon. Co-producers, Ernest Rouschop, Xavier Ruiz, Alexander Rodnyansky. Directed, put together by Jean-Baptiste Leonetti.With: Sami Bouajila, Julie Gayet, Jean-Pierre Andreani, Carlos Leal, Dominique Paturel, Fejria Deliba, Valerie Bodson, Viviana Aliberti, Majid Hives, Adele Exarchopoulos, Nathalie Becue Prader. (French dialogue)A prominent film website describes the premise of "Carre blanc" thus: "Afterwards, society's weak are destroyed and useful for meat." That is each one of these helluva false assumption, or it's symptomatic of author-director Jean-Baptiste Leonetti's excessively cryptic debut feature, because this kind of major conceptual point is barely even suggested onscreen. Bleak, minimalist dystopian sci-fi a la "1984" and "THX-1138," pic epitomizes the carefully thought-out aesthetic package with almost zero fascination with narrative and audience engagement. Adventurous genre fans will uncover it via disc or download a few will probably be rapt, many bored. As children, Philippe (Sami Bouajila) and Marie (Julie Gayet) met when she saved him from undertaking suicide as his mother had. 20 years later, he's end up being the perfect controlling tool from the all-pervasive corporation, posting subordinates to psychologically and/or physically harmful tests they can't possibly pass, while she laments their childlessness and also the behavior for the consuming machine. An initially striking, obtuse objet d'art, "Carre Blanc" soon evolves turgid while you realizes the specific, sterile visual and ominous audio tactics are that's prone to "happen."Camera (color, HD), David Nissen editors, Alex Rodriguez, Eric Jacquemin music, Evgueni Galperine production designers, Marie Pierre Durand, Noelle Van Parijs. Examined at Toronto Film Festival (Vanguard), Sept. 14, 2011. Running time: 80 MIN. Contact the number newsroom at news@variety.com
