Following its successful start in French-speaking Switzerland – with ticket sales of over 30,000 in the first three weeks – the feature film debut by directors Stéphanie Chuat and Véronique Reymond is set to capture the hearts of French audiences. With 40 prints in Paris and throughout all of France, “La petite chambre” (The little room) will appear on French screens starting February 16 (distributor: KMBO).
The story of a rebellious retiree features the French star actor Michel Bouquet. The 85-year-old actor is currently on stage in Paris, starring in the leading role of the well-known play "Le roi se meurt" by Eugène Ionesco.
"La petite chambre" was screened in competition at the Locarno International Film Festival last year, before being selected as the Swiss film in the running an Oscar nomination. The film by producer Ruth Waldburger (Vega Film, Zurich) has also been nominated for the Swiss Film Prize "Quartz" 2011 in the categories of Best Fiction Film and Best Screenplay.
