Pyramide Boards ‘I Just Want A Great Love Story’: A Cannes Market Exclusive
The French sales and distribution company Pyramide has secured the international sales and French distribution rights to Philippe Lesage's upcoming drama, 'I Just Want A Great Love Story'. This film is set to star Théodore Pellerin, Stacy Martin, Félix Kysyl, and Charles Berling, with a compelling narrative centered around a young man's struggle to find his place in life.
The movie's synopsis reveals a heartwarming story of Guillaume, a passionate and idealistic young man, who finds himself in a life-changing situation when he visits his older sister Charlotte and her fiancé's family in a quiet village. The meeting of the two families leads to unexpected moments and challenges for all involved.
This project is a collaboration between Lesage, Guillaume Vasseur, and producer Saïd Ben Saïd, who is also known for producing 'The Man I Love' and 'Diary Of A Chambermaid'. Ben Saïd's slate includes an English-language remake of 'A Poet' and Catherine Breillat's upcoming film, 'The German Cousin', based on the Georges Simenon novel 'The Krull House'.
Lesage, a Canadian filmmaker, is no stranger to critical acclaim. His previous works include 'The Demons', which played at San Sebastian in 2015, 'Genesis' (2018), which starred Pellerin and was shown at Locarno and other festivals, and 'Who By Fire' (2024), which won the Grand Prix of the International Jury at the Berlin Film Festival. Lesage's films are known for their well-received critical acclaim and festival presence.
Pyramide's involvement in 'I Just Want A Great Love Story' marks a significant step for the company, as it expands its reach in the international market. With a talented cast and a compelling story, this film is sure to attract attention at Cannes and beyond. Pyramide's decision to board the project is a strategic move, as it aims to strengthen its position in the French and international film distribution landscape.
In my opinion, this exclusive deal highlights Pyramide's commitment to supporting and promoting French cinema on a global scale. With a strong lineup of films, Pyramide is poised to make a significant impact in the industry. As an expert in the field, I believe that this move will not only benefit Pyramide but also contribute to the overall growth and success of French cinema worldwide.
