Fiction Feature: The Sleeper By The River
A dark comedy based on the award-winning book Les Bottes Rouges (The Red Boots) by Franz Bartelt. A story of love, sex, madness, homemade beer and the Zen of making French fries. A touchingly heart-breaking “dramedy” featuring Dominique Pinon, Marina Tomé, Delphine Depardieu and Pascal Turmo, set in the bucolic French Ardennes. Directed by Manuel Sanchez (Les Arcandiers).
