Hot Cannes Trailer: Josh Charles In ‘Bird People’
Pascale Ferran’s Bird People is one to watch for in the official Cannes Un Certain Regard sidebar. Josh Charles stars in the first feature from director Ferran after 2006′s award-winning Lady Chatterley. He plays a stressed-out American engineer who arrives at Paris’ Charles De Gaulle airport and decides to radically change his existence — he checks into a local hotel, unplugs from technology and embarks on a new life. Hot French actress Ana?s Demoustier co-stars as a young chambermaid who has a life-altering supernatural experience. Ferran and Guillaume Bréaud (Le Petit Lieutenant) co-scripted the English- and French-language film which was some time in the making. The main reason for that lies in the title: the birds in the film are real and had to be trained from the moment they hatched, which led to some delays. Paris-based FilmsDistribution has international sales. The movie screens in UCR on May 19.
