British distributors Arrow Films have sent us a trailer for director Pascal Bonitzer's comedy Cherchez Hortense a.k.a Looking for Hortense (2012), starring Jean-Pierre Bacri, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Isabelle Carré. The film is set to open in theaters across the United Kingdom on August 9th.
Looking For Hortense is a bittersweet 'comedie de moeurs' that is French in spirit but universal in appeal. Damien (Jean-Pierre Bacri), a Chinese civilization professor, lives with his partner, Iva (Kristin Scott Thomas), a stage director, and their son Noé. The couple's relationship has drifted into routine that has drained it of love. Damien finds himself trapped one day by Iva, who orders him to ask his father, a senior member of the French Council of State, for help in preventing Zorica (Isabelle Carré), a woman Iva knows, from being deported. But Damien and his father don't get on and are barely ever in touch with each other. This dangerous mission throws Damien into a spiral that will turn his life upside down.
