Paris-based leading distribution company ARP Selection has bought a pair of U.S. indie gems from the fall festival circuit, Shane Atkinson’s feature debut “LaRoy” and Sofia Coppol…
Produced by Cannes-based company Adastra Films, the film stars John Magaro as Ray, who decides to kill himself after discovering his wife has been cheating on him. But just before he pulls a trigger, a stranger takes him for a low-rent hitman.
Michele Halberstadt, who presides over ARP Selection with Laurent Pétin, praised “LaRoy” for its “wonderful script, pitch-perfect performances and heart.” She said she had a “coup de coeur” for the movie after discovering it at Deauville and fell for its “director-driven mise-en-scene, humor and endearing characters.” ARP Selection will release the movie in April. The Exchange Films is handling international sales.
“Priscilla,” a subtle drama exploring the troubled relationship between Priscilla Beaulieu Presley and Elvis, was bought by ARP Selection out of the Venice Film Festival. Halberstadt said she was drawn by the “unique way” Coppola expressed the feeling of “melancholy and golden prisons” with an ease and softness.” Spaeny and Jacob Elordi, who plays Elvis, were granted a SAG-AFTRA waiver to promote the film amid the strike, and attended the Venice premiere alongside Coppola and Presley.
