Celebrated novelist St\u00e9phane Belcourt is invited back to his native Cognac as guest of honor at the bicentennial celebration for a local cognac producer.\u00a0 At first, a bit unsettled at being thrust back into the childhood stomping-ground he abandoned 35 years earlier, he quickly changes his tune when he unexpectedly meets Lucas. The young man turns out to be the son of St\u00e9phane’s first love, his great love, Thomas Andrieu.\u00a0 The very “Thomas” who appears in every one of his novels.\u00a0 Suddenly, all those distant memories come flooding back to him.\u00a0 <\/span>Olivier Peyon<\/b>‘s moving adaptation of Philippe Besson’s award-winning autobiographical novel of the same name jumps back and forth between 1984 and the present.\u00a0 It is, of course, a story of sexual awakening, and a plaintive memoir on the bittersweet heartbreak of lost love.\u00a0 It’s also about how shame, hiding, and denying one’s true self can be a slow-burning death of the soul.\u00a0 And how truth has the power to heal \u2014 maybe not all wounds, but at least a few of the bumps and bruises we accumulate along the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

After studying economics, writer\/director <\/span>Olivier Peyon<\/b> began working as a production assistant on Idrissa Ouedraogo’s films, and subtitling English-language films in French.\u00a0 He made his first short, <\/span>Promis, jur\u00e9<\/span><\/i>, in 1996.\u00a0 <\/span>Jingle Bells<\/span><\/i> (1997), his second short, was screened at the Venice Film Festival, and was followed by two additional shorts, <\/span>\u00c0 tes amours<\/span><\/i> (2001) and <\/span>Claquage apr\u00e8s \u00e9tirements<\/span><\/i> (2002).\u00a0 He directed the documentary feature <\/span>Comment j’ai d\u00e9test\u00e9 les maths<\/span><\/i> (COLCOA 2014), which was nominated for a C\u00e9sar Award for Best Documentary; and two episodes of the documentary series <\/span>Empreintes<\/span><\/i> (2009-11). He and Cyril Brody co-directed the documentary <\/span>Latifa: A Fighting Heart<\/span><\/i> (2017).\u00a0 He has co-written and directed three previous feature films, <\/span>Les Petites vacances<\/span><\/i> (2006), starring Bernadette Lafont; <\/span>Une vie ailleurs<\/span><\/i> (2017), starring Isabelle Carr\u00e9; and <\/span>Tokyo Shaking<\/span><\/i> (2021), starring Karin Viard.\u00a0 <\/span>Lie with Me<\/i><\/b> is scheduled for release in France in January 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/lie-with-me.jpeg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
