Here's an update on a project Emmanuel profiled last fall titled Désordres (Chaos), which stars Isaach de Bankole and French-Rwandan actress Sonia Rolland, as history professor Vincent, and his wife Marie who have just moved from Paris (with their son) into a farm near a small town in the south of France, looking forward to a quieter life, some kind of return to nature. Marie, a renowned international pianist, who retired in spite of her young age, has decided to follow her husband, but almost unwillingly. From the very beginning, Thibaut, one of Vincent’s students (played by Niels Schneider), disrupts this family getaway, and slowly, the couple starts to come apart. But Thibaut’s intentions are not at all motivated by love. And he'll do anything to achieve his goal.

I don't know if I should call it his (Terence Nance's) *next* film, or his follow-up to his feature film debut, An Oversimplification Of Her Beauty, but I'll say that if you live in New York City, you should be all over this, tomorrow night, at the Brooklyn Museum.

Late announcement, given that it's happening this evening, but I only just got notice of it, so don't look at me... :)
