Guillaume Depardieu appears in "L’Enfance d’icare".
*
Guillaume Depardieu (son of French actor Gérard Depardieu) died in October 2008 at the age of 37 after contracting severe viral pneumonia while filming The Way Beyond (L’Enfance d’icare) in Romania. The film is screening at Světozor, Nov. 27 at 9 and Slovanský dům, Dec. 1 at 7:30. The disturbingly ironic subject of the film is Depardieu as a tourtured trauma victim struggling fruitlessly to reverse the effects of a tragic accident that has left him permenantly disabled. English-language moviegoers should take care to take advantage of this rare opportunity to partake in contemporary French cinema complete with subtitles. Both the recently departed Guillaume and his famous father have films in this year’s French Film Festival. For more information, see www.festivalff.cz.
