Curzon previously acquired UK and Ireland rights.
In the first on-site US deal for a film in the Cannes festival, Cohen Media Group has acquired Directors’ Fortnight opening film Between Two Worlds starring Juliette Binoche.
Emmanuel Carrère’s drama follows a writer who goes undercover as a contract cleaner in order to write an exposé on precarious working conditions in France.

Between Two Worlds is based loosely on Florence Aubenas...

Le quai de Ouistreham
