There are two ways you could look at Mel Eslyn’s feature debut, Biosphere, which undoubtedly marks the most bizarre project actors as adventurous as Mark Duplass and Sterling K. Brown have ever piloted. You could stew in the despondent prospect that it takes something as existentially extreme as the end of the world for two men to strip down to their truest, most overwhelmingly real selves. Or, you could bask in the beaming warmth of the post-apocalyptic dome that safeguards and nurtures the saplings of hope. Cultivating a sincere synchronicity with its innately freakish themes, Eslyn’s sci-fi comedy designs a magic show. What could it be if not magic when, amidst an ocean of tasteless hijinks passed off as jokes, Biosphere’s elements of humor never exist at the cost of an individual’s identity and insecurities?

Two Friends Edm music duo Eli Sones and Matthew Halper recently revealed that Fyre Festival promoter, Billy McFarland contacted them about performing at a future Fyre Festival.
McFarland’s 2018 Fyre Festival infamously became known as the dumpster fire of music events when McFarland promised hundreds of concert-goers the luxury music festival of a lifetime – and it turned out to be a total con. McFarland ultimately pleaded guilty to defrauding investors, was fined $39 million, and served four years in prison.
Since his release, he’s promised to do Fyre Festival the right way. However, finding strong acts may be pretty tough.
Two Friends wouldn’t consider doing Fyre Festival
McFarland hinted in the press that Fyre Festival 2.0 could be in the works and Two Friends confirmed that the disgraced promoter contacted them.
“Funny enough, I would say probably not,” Sones told Showbiz Cheat Sheet about the possibility of playing Fyre. “But he actually did.

Sydney, June 11 (Ians) These days Jane Campion — Palme d’Or and Oscar-winning film director — is celebrated for a vein of heartfelt cinema that is aching and quirky, rather than gushing, writes ‘Variety’.
She’s also an intelligent and determined female pioneer who has had to struggle for her present standing in a male-dominated industry.
The Sydney Film Festival this week is showcasing and contextualising Campion’s body of work, ‘Variety’ reports. Its screening programme includes all nine of her feature films, from “Two Friends” to “The Power of the Dog”, and a selection of her shorts.
“For our 70th edition, we wanted to present a retrospective commensurate with the milestone, reflecting the audacious and boundary pushing filmmaking synonymous with our festival and region. There was no one more appropriate than Jane Campion,” said Sff Director Nashen Moodley in notes ahead of the event.

That English-language cinema has no parallel for the Garrel family is equal testament to their legacy and our shallow, piddling culture. While Philippe Garrel’s decades-long filmmaking career––which began with political documentation and silent features, but now represents modern cinema’s best studies of romance and longing––just added to its corpus his excellent The Plough, starring progeny Louis Garrel, Esther Garrel, and Lena Garrel, Louis is about to see the U.S. debut of The Innocent, his fourth feature in writing-directing-starring capacities.
If it barely resembles his father’s films––still attuned to human behavior, but packaging observations inside madcap scenarios Garrel proudly calls “completely unbelievable”––that’s all the better: watching The Innocent suggests less an heir to Philippe Garrel than Dino Risi or Pierre Etaix.
Ahead of a release this Friday beginning at NYC’s IFC Center, I talked to Garrel about the difficulty of constructing an intricate comedy-thriller,...

French actor Louis Garrel has been married twice, first to Iranian talent Golshifteh Farahani, and now to model-cum-actress Laetitia Casta. He has also directed two features, the first a free-wheeling love-triangle comedy called “Two Friends” in which Garrel plays the cad who comes between his best friend and the object of his obsession (played by Farahani), and the other the relatively low-key drama “A Faithful Man,” centered on a different sort of triangle, in which two women (one played by Casta) compete for Garrel’s affections.
That description grossly oversimplifies both movies, and yet, their personalities could not be more different, hardly even the work of the same filmmaker, which must say something about Garrel’s state of mind in these two marriages. If “Two Lovers” was a lively New Wave lark, exploding with color and energy, then “A Faithful Man” is its sober, cerebral opposite, gray and stylistically restrained,...

Kino Lorber has acquired North American rights to Louis Garrel’s critically acclaimed drama “A Faithful Man,” which had its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, where it won the Fipresci award.
Sold to Kino Lorber by Wild Bunch and CAA Media Finance, the movie also played at the New York and San Sebastian film festivals, where it won best screenplay.
“A Faithful Man” marks Garrel’s sophomore feature, following “Two Friends,” which opened at Cannes’ Critics’ Week in 2015. Garrel, who is best known for his roles as an actor in “The Dreamers” and “Godard Mon Amour,” wrote the script of “A Faithful Man” in collaboration with Jean-Claude Carrière, a revered French writer, playwright and screenwriter. Garrel stars in the film opposite Laetitia Casta (who is also his wife) and Lily Rose Depp.

If you need someone to direct and star in a movie about a forlornly handsome Frenchman caught between two gorgeous femme fatales, better call Louis Garrel.
For his second feature following the likeable Two Friends (2015), the actor turned filmmaker delivers a very New Wave-ish tale of love, sex, death, adultery and picturesque Paris streets, in a movie that seems to pay homage to mid-career Francois Truffaut (especially Stolen Kisses). Short and sweet if ultimately rather trite — although a screenplay contribution from the legendary Jean-Claude Carriere adds some gravitas — this is the kind of French flick that art-house viewers ...

Madrid — Two female-driven feature comedy projects with potential international appeal, Cristina Trenas and Isabel Delclaux’s “Three Astronauts” and Roberto Goñi and Laura Molpeceres’ “Two Friends,” proved top highlights at the fifth edition of Pitchbox, held in Madrid.
Organized by online platform Filmarket Hub, the films-in-development showcase took place May 22, attracting a typically select but high-quality caliber of executives and represented companies from key players such as Telecinco Cinema, Atresmedia Cine, Tve, Warner Bros. España, DeAPlaneta, Tornasol Films, Morena Films, Latido Films, Dynamo and TriPictures.
The seven projects pitched, previously filtered and analyzed by Filmarket Hub, generated a wide-ranging selection in terms of film genres and budgets, while reflecting women’s growing visibility in creation, direction and lead characters.
Event’s networking also served to confirm that Spanish film industry problems remain, from regulatory uncertainty to under-capitalized public funding schemes and the commitment to independent production of many public broadcasters.

Two FriendsThough known primarily as an actor, Louis Garrel has been conducting appreciable efforts behind the camera as well. After directing three short films, including a César-nominated Petit tailleur, and most recently La règle de trois, Louis Garrel expands upon his fascination of threes with his first feature length film, Two Friends (Les deux amis), in which he also stars. Based loosely on the French play The Moods of Marianne, Garrel's film finds professional movie extra Vincent (Vincent Macaigne) in frenzied love with Mona (Goldshifteh Farahani), who cannot and will not give in to his romantic advances due in part to her restrictive situation, which she keeps secret.

Nadav Lapid will dig into his own Parisian experience from over a decade back with his third feature film, the mini format dictionary referenced title of Micro Robert. Variety reports that French producer Anne-Dominique Toussaint (her most recent items via outfitter Les Films des Tournelles include Riad Sattouf’s Jacky au royaume des filles Louis Garrel’s Les deux amis) is producing. Israel’s Pie Films will be co-producing.
Gist: This follows the journey of an Israel man who moves to Paris. A philosophical exploration of self-identity, the movie will ponder on what remains of our core identity and world views when we become expats and switch languages.
Worth Noting: Lapid told the trade that with “‘Policeman,’ there are ghosts of terrorists, in ‘The Kindergarten Teacher,’ there are ghosts of 5-year olds, and in ‘Micro Robert’ our character will be haunted by ghosts of Paris”.

Inspired and co-written by director Mia Hansen-løve's brother, Sven Hansen-løve, "Eden" serves to document the origins of the electronic music scene in France, from which mega starts like Daft Punk emerged. This intimate portrayal takes the frivolous image of the DJ and turns on its head to deliver a casually elegant, humanistic, and musically intoxicating tale about the trials and errors in one man’s life.
Carried by its start Félix de Givry, who plays a fictionalized version of Sven, the story expands over a decade of heartbreak, drug abuse, disappointments, and personal realizations that transform a boy who fell in love with the innovation of underground tunes into a man who has to accept that a different path might more suiting.
With only two feature films in his resume De Givry is relatively a new face in the international scene, but he is certainly on the rise and developing many more projects besides his acting career. His relationship with both Mia and Sven influenced his performance profoundly and that is reflected with sincerity on the screen.
Our conversation started like most discussing the intricacies of making the film, and evolved into a very enjoyable chat that reveal how much of film buff De Givry is and his diverse interests within the industry.
Aguilar: This is a very sensitive portrayal of a DJ beyond what we might expect when we think of the profession these days. What was your approach to the character and to the movie in general?
Félix de Givry: I met Mia very early on in the process of making this movie. We met one and a half years before shooting and because the movie was so hard to finance we spent a lot of time together talking about it. The film was originally designed to be two features films or a four-hour film. She did it almost like "Carlos," the Olivier Assayas film, which is two parts. When I read the script it was a huge, huge project. During this time we talked about the character, but we also talked about so many different things that we became very close and so the approach to the character was very natural in a way. By the time we started shooting it was like we had already made the film together and it was just a matter of shooting it. Mia has such a subtle approach to everything. I always felt like I was in her hands, and that's how the character is. He is someone who left his life in the hands of someone else and didn't really decide over it.
Aguilar: Was it more difficult or touchy for both of you and Sven since it's such a personal story inspired by his reality at some point?
Félix de Givry: We always felt there was a third person. There is this boundary between fiction and reality which is, for me, something vital. That's how she feels she is able to survive. It's like two mirrors looking at each other, which creates this sort of infinity. That's why she keeps making films about things that surround her. Her next film is loosely based on her mom, "Father of My Children" was based on her previous producer. They are always about something close to her. There is a strange relationship between all of this and I think that also allows the film to be very sincere. Either you get it and get drawn into the film or you don't get it and it won't be a attractive film for you because there is not really a plot or a climax, but I think that's what's interesting. It would have been greater as a four-hour film. This film is a shrunken version of the four-hour film. "Boyhood" is three hours, imagine if "Boyhood" was one hour an a half. It wouldn't have the same effect.
Aguilar: Did you learn anything about yourself by playing someone so complex?
Félix de Givry: it's funny because I learned as much from the character's life and the events in it as from the experience of making the movie. It's not really about what mistakes to avoid or a particular event or love story - even though it is kind of scary not to be able to have a family, kids, and have many regrets -but it's really about the overall experience. I also discovered that I have a passion for cinema and making this film made it grow even bigger. It made be more intellectually involved in movies, which was very important when making the film. The other thing I learned about was the connection between human beings, between Mia, her brother, and I. This is something not directly connected to the movie, but I leaned a lot about evolving in the middle of colorful characters and crazy people [Laughs]. Also because the movie was hard to finance there was a lot of pressure and financial issues. It was really an experience..
Aguilar: Seems like you were part of the film beyond just being the lead actor
Félix de Givry: Yes, I even helped the producer find some more money. [Laughs]
Aguilar: What was your experience with this type of music before the film? Did you ever DJ or was an entire new world for you?
Félix de Givry: I was a little bit more connected to electronic music than most people my age. I used to organized some parties in Paris, and so I had this sort of relationship with it, but not directly with the roots of electronic music or the beginning of it. I wasn't really aware of what happened in the 90s because it's not a very documented era. It was really underground. Traditional media was not talking about it, and there was no social media yet. It's sort of strange because it happened I'm between the 80s and the 2000s. I think this underground scene of raves could only exist at that time. I can't imagine it today. I went to a rave party in Paris a few weeks ago, which was illegal, but the next day I saw people posting pictures on Facebook. It's not really secret anymore.
Aguilar: Back then you had to actually go to the gig to hear the music, you couldn't just download it.
Félix de Givry: Exactly. Also, to create this music, which is different than now with the internet, you had to go and dig into stores and find the music. The DJ's job was something different back then. I learned all that for the movie. I had this intuition or this idea that it was different but I had to go deeper. When I was a teenager electronic music was already huge. It's been huge for maybe the last 15 years or at least the last decade. I'm 22 so it was definitely very huge when I was a teenager. I was not aware that the French people that were involved in the beginning of electronic music were so few people. In your subconscious you have this idea that it was always something big. But if you talk about it with Sven or his friends, they'll tell you that it was about 100 people that were going to the same events and going to same record stores. Daft Punk were not international superstars, it was a little, little scene. I learned about this through making the movie.
Aguilar: What I gather from your character is that he grows up with these group of people, and then some of them, like Daft Punk, blow up, but he never does. It seems like after several trials he has to regroup and look for something else. I wouldn't say is about lost dreams but maybe there is some of that in it?
Félix de Givry: The thing is that I don't think he really wanted it to happen. Like I said, there is this sort of boundary between real life and the film. There is this sort of difference between Sven and the character, but I think Sven's real dream is to be a writer. His real dream wasn't music, music came on his path and was something like a ready-to-eat cake that was in front of him. But now he is starting to get into his real dream of writing and being committed to write. I think if he went that much into music it was because it was easy at first. You earn money easily, it's exciting, and you are in the middle of something great, but maybe it was the wrong path. I don't think he is jealous of Daft Punk or that there is a rivalry, because he never wanted to be that big in music. For me the thing that illustrates that the most is that he never really produced music. You can be big as a DJ, but if you really want to be big, like all the big names from back then or now, you have to produce. These are people who have produced songs that became hits, and people are going to see them to the clubs because they know they are going to play the hits they produced. I think Sven was a witness of that era but not really an actor or a player in it. Now he is starting to get into his real path which is writing. The four-hour version of the movie delved even more into his writing.
Aguilar: How does Mia work? Is there room for any improvisation in a film like this or does it all have to go by the script?
Félix de Givry: It's a lot like it is on the script, but she is very open to suggestions. She really knows what she wants and she does a lot of takes, like in between 20 and 30 takes. This is also because is the first project that she didn't shoot on film. It was like "Whoo! I can do as many takes as I want" [Laughs]. But even then it was still a bit limited because of a new law in France regarding working overtime, so she was still kind of cut short by that. She was very precise, but at the same time, as I told you, we trusted each other so much that everything was always soft and gentle. We never really had a fight. The shooting was very physical, Mia and I were there every day. There were a lot of night shoots, and it was very tough as it took a few months to shoot. It was a tough film. I don't know if you've ever met Mia, but she very skinny and sweet, you don't know how she handles all that. She definitely knows what she wants, an it was a very pleasant experience, especially because we became very good friends through this process. Maybe we'll make another film together.
Aguilar: What does the title "Eden" mean to you? I know it comes from the pamphlet that was distributed in this raves, but it really could encompass many elements of the film.
Félix de Givry: Eden is a lost paradise, for me that's the most coherent meaning. I think it's even funnier that it's also the title of the pamphlet they created at that time while living it. The pamphlet is one of the only things that documents this time because there are interviews. Sven did interviews with Daft Punk. If you really read it - I've read all the issues thought there are only around 10 of them - you realize they were direct witnesses of what was happening. It's kind of crazy that they called it "Eden" as if they already knew that it was a lost paradise, that it wouldn't last. They predicted this lost paradise.
Aguilar: What are you doing next now that "Eden" is finally coming out here in the U.S? Does that open more doors?
Félix de Givry: In France I refused a lot of films because I only want to work on great films, and there are not that many great films. I'm taking to an American director and to an Israeli director about two indie films. I think that's the type of films I want to do. I'm also doing two short films in October and November. But I also have my company in France with some friends, we have a music label, we are producing films, and we are creating a clothing line as well. We are very busy, the music label is doing quite well. We produce music videos and short films as well.
Aguilar: Seems very fitting that you were involved in music while being part of a film like this
Félix de Givry: There is actually some of the music I've produced in the film. But we are also developing our first feature film by a French director who is a friend. I'm sort of in between right now. I want to act in other films but only if they are good. I became quite good friends with Josh Mond of BorderLine Films who directed "James White." He works with Antonio Campos and Sean Durkin in this sort of collective way. I think they are very interesting. I would like to do what they do but in France.
Aguilar: Would you like to direct? Is that part of your future plans?
Félix de Givry: Yes! [Laughs], I'm really in the middle of a time crisis right now between being a producer and an artist. I started to realize this in "Eden," because I was so involved in the film. I was not a producer but it was almost like if I was also a producer. Then I thought to myself, "Yeah but I'm also considered talent, I'm not really on the producing side." It's all blurry in my head right now, I don't know where I'm gonna go. I would love to do a film with the Coen brothers, as an actor that kind of a dream. Although I was kind of disappointment with their jury choices at Cannes.
Aguilar: Where you there?
Félix de Givry: I was at Cannes for two days for a Louis Garrel, a French actor who directed a film. The film is called "Les Deux Amis" it was part of the Critics' Week. He is the son of Philippe Garrel.
Aguilar: What was your favorite film at Cannes?
Félix de Givry: I didn't see a lot but I saw "The Lobster" and I liked it. Have you seen it?
Aguilar: I haven't but I really like his films. "Dogtooth" is fantastic.
Félix de Givry: It's sort of absurd. We are producing a film in September that's sort of like that,absurd reality, which is more real than surreal. The elements are assumed like a reality. I think there is an interesting approach there, whereas most absurd films are fantasies. I also saw Joachim Trier's film "Louder Than Bombs," I love his films.
Aguilar: It seems like a great number of international directors are making films in English
Félix de Givry: Yeah it's kind of the trend, to be an indie Norwegian director and then you do a film with Jesse Eisenberg. All these directors have the same passion for the same American actors like Jesse Eisenberg. I know Mia really likes him, or Greta. Did you see or hear anything good about other films at Cannes?
Aguilar: I heard good things about "Son of Saul," and I was surprised that the Jacques Audiard film "Dheepan" won.
Félix de Givry: I was surprised too. The jury's choices were strange.
Aguilar: I mean he is a great director and he'd never won before, maybe that's why.
Félix de Givry: He is a good director but he is not the greatest.
Aguilar: Well he seems to be very well regarded in France, but maybe you'll be at Cannes soon with a film.
Félix de Givry: I hope [Laughs]

Lead by Charles Tesson, the Cannes Critics’ Week programming team (the competition section that specializes in feature film work from 1st, and 2nd time filmmakers) have revealed the make-up of the 54th edition and it’ll be Elie Wajeman‘s sophomore film Les Anarchistes (our #63 pick in our most anticipated foreign films for 2015) that will open the section.

The lineup, typical, tips toward French film, including actor Louis Garrel's feature debut "Les Deux Amis" — which from the title already sounds alluringly like a film in his father Philippe Garrel's footsteps.
