Jean-Jacques Annaud<\/b> delivers a riveting, action-packed, truly spectacular cliff-hanger of a disaster movie \u2014 filmed for IMAX, no less \u2014 recounting the real-life, devastating blaze that engulfed Notre-Dame cathedral on <\/span>April 15, <\/span>2019.\u00a0 Inventively intercutting original dramatic scenes of firefighters and emergency responders doing their thing, with digital effects, smartphone videos and archival news footage, Annaud <\/span>offers up a dazzling, blow-by-blow recreation<\/span> of that terrifying inferno. There are plenty of pyrotechnics and lots of production value, with real spires collapsing and molten lead gushing from the mouths of gargoyles.\u00a0 But it’s the courageous men and women risking their lives to battle that firestorm, against all apparent odds, who keep us on the edge of our seats and lodge that veritable lump in our throats. For a story whose outcome we all know only too well, it’s a real nail-biter!<\/span><\/p>\n

Veteran filmmaker <\/span>Jean-Jacques Annaud<\/b> is a 1964 graduate of the IDHEC film school. He began his career directing TV commercials in the late ’60s and early ’70s.\u00a0 His very first feature, <\/span>Black and White in Color<\/span><\/i> (1976), nabbed an Academy Award as Best Foreign Film. He went on to win five C\u00e9sar Awards \u2014 for Best Film and Best Director for <\/span>Quest for Fire<\/span><\/i> (1982); Best Foreign Film for <\/span>The Name of the Rose<\/span><\/i> (1987), starring Sean Connery, which also nabbed a David di Donatello Award; and Best Director again for <\/span>The Bear<\/span><\/i> (1988). His other films include an adaptation of the Marguerite Duras autobiographical novel, <\/span>The Lover<\/span><\/i> (1992); <\/span>Seven Years in Tibet<\/span><\/i> (1997), starring Brad Pitt; <\/span>Enemy at the Gates<\/span><\/i> (2001), starring Jude Law; <\/span>Two Brothers<\/span><\/i> (2004); and <\/span>Sa majest\u00e9 Minor<\/span><\/i> (2007).\u00a0 In 2018, Annaud directed all ten episodes of the miniseries <\/span>The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair<\/span><\/i>. The 26th American French Film Festival is proud to present <\/span>Notre-Dame On Fire <\/i><\/b>as its Opening Film, in its first screening to North American audiences.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/notre_dame_on_fire-466106897-large.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":"
