‘And Their Children After Them’ Directors Talk New Hollywood Influences & English-Language Ambitions – Venice


Fraternal directorial duo reveal New Hollywood Influences and English-Language ambitions

Twin brothers Ludovic and Zoran Boukherma left their village in southwest France for Paris just over a decade ago to study film at the Luc Besson-spearheaded L’École de la Cité.

Thomas.
