Buckle up film buffs because 'A Man of His Time,' the masterpiece that rocked the Cannes Film Festival, is headed to cinemas worldwide! The Parisian sales giant Charades managed to bag a hot selection of international distributors for Emmanuel Marre's award-winning film. So, folks from Switzerland to Indonesia, your local theaters will soon showcase this gem that has already scooped up international applause and serious award recognition.

Among the distributors, we've got Frenetic Films from Switzerland, Filmin from Spain, Alamode Film from Germany, just to name a few. Let's not forget our movie-maestros from Italy (I Wonder Pictures), Greece (One From the Heart), Portugal (Leopardo Filmes), Mars Films of Turkey, and our Asian friends from Israel (New Cinema) and Indonesia (Falcon). Excitingly, the French audience can grab their tickets from Condor Distribution starting September 30th, while Cinéart will take care of the fans in Belgium.

And why wouldn’t these big-name distributors hustle to grab a piece of the action? Coming fresh from its world premiere at Cannes, "A Man of His Time" proved a solid gold hit. Not only did it bag the best screenplay award, it was also bestowed with the Prix des Cinémas Art et Essai, the CST Award for Best Artist-Technician, and managed to secure a special mention from the Prix de la Citoyenneté jury. This show managed to hog the limelight alright!

Now, about this movie: hanging in the hallowed space between history and memories, 'A Man of His Time' is an ode to Emmanuel Marre's great-grandfather - his life and struggles. We follow the character of Henri Marre, a man of many ambitions, who arrives in Vichy France with a manuscript loaded with political dynamite. As a World War II-era drama, the film scrutinizes the mechanisms of collaboration under the Vichy regime, exposing us to complex human aspects of ambition, morality, and complicity during the darkest periods of history. Certainly, it's a personal canvas for Marre who regards this film as grappling with a chapter of his family past he found hard to swallow.

Known for his spirited dramas, 'A Man of His Time' is Marre’s second feature following his successful drama, 'Zero Fucks Given,' which he co-directed with Julie Lecoustre. The duo made their Cannes debut in 2021 through the Critics’ Week and walked away with the Gan Foundation Award.

So brace yourselves movie-goers - this deeply engaging film is on its way, served up by a platter of international distributors, and promises to be an unforgettable, immersive experience!
