U.K. council at 'Crossroads'
CANNES -- The U.K. Film Council is pumping £431,207 ($699,000) into French writer-director Manuel Poirier's Chemins de Traverse (Crossroads), the government-backed funding organization said Thursday. The cash injection, from the council's production fund headed by Robert Jones, is expected to spark controversy in the United Kingdom because it is a French-language film. The movie follows the tale of a father and son traveling across Brittany in France and their growing relationship. It stars Sergi Lopez (Dirty Pretty Things), who plays the father, Victor, and Kevin Miranda (Les P'tits gars Ladouceur) as the teenage boy. No budget was given for the title, which is shooting in France.
