IFC Films has acquired North American rights to “Armand,” following its world premiere at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.
Written and directed by Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel and starring Renate Reinsve, the breakout actress from “The Worst Person in the World,” the film made history at the festival as the first-ever Norwegian recipient of the prestigious Camera d’Or Award. It also won the sound award Prix de la Meilleure Création Sonere for sound designer Mats Lid Støten and composer Ella van der Woude. IFC Films will release the film in theaters later this year.
When actress Elisabeth (Reinsve) is unexpectedly called into a parent-teacher conference after hours, she is presented with scathing allegations that trigger a tangled web of accusations between parents and faculty. That leads Elisabeth on a struggle to uncover the truth, pushing her into “a chaotic fight for redemption arises where desire, madness and obsession prevail,” according to the film’s logline.
