The program includes the Italian premiere of Arthur Harari's "The Unknown," in which Seydoux stars, along with Louis Malle's 1963 "Le Feu follet" and Ursula Meier's "Sister." The Carte Blanche initiative allows prominent filmmakers and actors to curate programs reflecting their artistic influences and career highlights.
Léa Seydoux has been recruited to present a three-film Carte Blanche program at Rome's Il Cinema in Piazza, the city's summer outdoor screening series. The program spans three days in late June, beginning with the Italian premiere of "The Unknown" on June 27 at the Sala Troisi indoor venue, where Seydoux will introduce the Arthur Harari body-swap psychodrama in which she stars. She recently described her role in the film as "the best part I've ever played" in an interview with Variety. The following day, she will introduce Louis Malle's 1963 drama "Le Feu follet" at Piazza San Cosimato, and on June 29, she will present Ursula Meier's "Sister," a 2012 Berlin Silver Bear winner in which she plays a troubled young woman supporting her younger brother. The Il Cinema in Piazza series features 95 free screenings across three outdoor venues and the Cinema Troisi arthouse, and has previously hosted curated programs by other prominent filmmakers including Paolo Sorrentino, Damien Chazelle, Jane Campion, and Francis Ford Coppola.
