French movie hit ‘Romantics Anonymous’ to be released in U.S. by Tribeca Films
New York, NY, United States (AHN Entertainment) – The French box office hit Romantics Anonymous will be released in the U.S. after a well-received international premiere at the 2011 Tribeca Film Fesitval.
Romantics Anonymous, directed by Jean-Pierre Améris and co-written by Améris and Philippe Blasband, is the story of two shy, yet talented chocolate-makers (played by Angélique Delange and Jean-René Van Den Hugde) whose social inhibitions prevent them from sharing their creations.
When the pair start working together, they must overcome their shyness in order to save the business and their relationship.
Romantics Anonymous has already earned $9 million in France and was referred to as “one of this year’s Tribeca Film Festival word-of-mouth sensations” by IFC.com.
“At Tribeca Film Festival the audience welcomed Romantics Anonymous with such warmth, when we debated after the screenings people were so connected to the humor and emotion of the film, that I am particularly happy to know the film will be distributed in the United States and this conversation with American audiences will carry on,” said Jean-Pierre Améris.
“Romantics Anonymous is universal in its appeal and its treatment of love and romance. We look forward to bringing it to a wider audience in the U.S.,” said Tribeca Enterprises Chief Creative Officer, Geoffrey Gilmore.
The deal between Tribeca Film and StudioCanal was completed at the current Cannes Film Festival and gives Tribeca Films all U.S. rights to Romantics Anonymous.
