Q & A: How Willimon Runs Fincher's 'House ...Wes Anderson Selects Louis Malle's 'The Fire Within' for Carte-Blanche Programming Screening at COL*COA 2013
The film is based on the novel by Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, source material that also inspired last year's festival favorite "Oslo, August 31." It stars Maurice Ronet (also in Malle's "Elevator to the Gallows") and French New Wave legend Jeanne Moreau. (For more evidence of Anderson's cinephile leanings, check out his Top 10 for Criterion here.)
Moreau is highlighted in another COL*COA repertory pick for the upcoming 2013 fest, Jacques Demy's resplendent "Bay of Angels," about a duo of star-crossed lovers caught in the glittery world of Mediterranean casinos. It will screen in a restored 35mm print.
The fest runs April 15-22. Info on screening dates, as well as COL*COA's complete new film lineup, will be announced March 26.
Here's a scene from "The Fire Within," featuring Claude Helffler's beautifully evocative piano, from music by composer Eric Satie:

He loved this film so much that he took a line directly from this film and put it in The Royal Tenenbaums, even though it made no sense considering the circumstances (don't want to spoil it by telling you what happens). This juxtaposition and disconnect between the character's actions and his words creates one of the most fascinating scenes in all of Wes Anderson's movies.
