This feature debut from comedic bad boy Nicolas Bedos is a literate and funny celebration of couplehood. When famous author Victor Adelman dies, a journalist contacts his wife Sarah, hoping to get a scoop on the great writer\u2019s life. Her account of their story together is a personal odyssey that begins with Sarah first convincing Victor, then his parents, that she is the right woman for him. As Victor the bright and promising lover turns into Victor the egocentric and anguished husband, Sarah doubles down on her devotion. She is his rock when times are tough, his muse when inspiration falters.<\/p>\n

But their marriage faces the biggest test when Victor\u2019s true mistress, fame, enters the picture. Walking a razor\u2019s edge between bitingly cynical and scathingly romantic,\u00a0Mr. & Mrs. Adelman<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0chronicles half a century of passions, ambitions, victories, secrets, and betrayals; a whimsical tribute to the madness and wisdom of the idea of sharing a life with someone. Former Canal+ \u201cweather girl\u201d Doria Tillier is exceptional in her film debut as the strong but enigmatic force behind the public figure.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1516931452220{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Actor\/writer\/director\u00a0Nicolas Bedos<\/strong>\u00a0was quick off the starting blocks, landing a writing job at Canal+ at the age of 18. From there he began writing material for his father Guy Bedos, an iconic figure in Gallic stand-up comedy. Bedos came into his own as a writer in 2005 when his play\u00a0Sortie de Sc\u00e8ne<\/em>\u00a0was nominated for a Moli\u00e8re Award.<\/p>\n

Three more plays followed in rapid succession, along with more writing for television. Bedos emerged as a controversial public figure when he began performing provocative sketches satirizing French politics for television. In addition to his work on both sides of the camera, Bedos composed music for the film, along with Philippe Kelly.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”http:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/under_13.jpg” image_size=”full”][mk_image src=”http:\/\/www.theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/adelman.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”border_shadow”][mk_image heading_title=”In Association with” src=”http:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/le-pacte.jpg” image_size=”full” margin_bottom=”10″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
