Marion Cotillard Heads Home

French actress Marion Cotillard has been busy parlaying her post-Oscar fame into roles in high-profile American projects, including Michael Mann's Public Enemies and the star-studded adaptation of the Broadway musical Nine. But she still has time for her home country as well, especially when it's a film directed by rising star filmmaker Guillaume Canet.

Canet, who made last year's art-house hit Tell No One, will direct Cotilliard and a whole handful of her countrymen in Les Petits Mouchoirs, a tragicomedy about a group of friends taking their annual summer vacation together. If it sounds like a certain 80s movie with a hit soundtrack, you're on to something; the movie's producer Alain Attal told Variety "In the vein of The Big Chill and Peter's Friends, Mouchoirs mixes moments of high comedy and large emotions."
