on March 1 underscored American audiences’ enduring love for Gallic fare. At least when it comes to New Yorkers.
During his masterclass with film students at Brooklyn College, Marnier discussed French classics’ influences, notably movies by Claude Chabrol, behind his thriller “The Origin of Evil.” “For decades, French genre films were inspired by American horror movies so we didn’t bring anything new to the table, especially because we’ve never had the same ressources as U.S. productions, but today we’ve found our own voice and we’re able to make genre films that have social and political resonances,” said Marnier, who also cited Just Philippot’s horror thriller “The Swarm” as another kind of elevated genre cinema with a social subtext.
The executive noted that aside from these, the work of French New Wave icons like Agnes Varda, Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut is also enjoying a new popularity as illustrated by the well-attended retrospectives hosted at the Film at Lincoln Center. “Everybody’s talking about elevated genre films and that’s what the younger generation is interested in, and you can find those movies that are unique within those genres,” Deutchman continued. He says, however, that the old version of the art film business – one that relied mostly on reviews and print advertising — is broken.
