This year in Deauville, all of Amer­i­can cin­e­ma will be on dis­play, because on top of the com­pe­ti­tion, inde­pen­dent films and doc­u­men­taries, five event films will be screened. Tom McCarthy’s STILLWATER, a thriller infused with human­i­ty shot in the streets of Mar­seille, will open the fes­ti­val. Also to be dis­cov­ered will be Paul Schrader’s THE CARD COUNTER, an intense film noir about redemp­tion, Sean Penn’s FLAG DAY, a sin­cere ode to a father try­ing to patch things up with his daugh­ter, Brad Furman’s CITY OF LIES, in which John­ny Depp plays the police detec­tive inves­ti­gat­ing the mur­der of rap­per The Noto­ri­ous B.I.G. in the ‘90s. And a long-await­ed sur­prise film will sat­is­fy cin­e­ma lovers !

The 13 films play­ing in com­pe­ti­tion will be announced on August 9^th.
