‘Emilia Perez,’ ‘The Count of Monte Cristo’ to Be Showcased at the American French Film Festival’s Comeback Edition in Los Angeles


The L.A.-set American French Film Festival will open with Jacques Audiard's "Emilia Pérez" and will close with the epic "The Count of Monte Cristo."

“We are beyond excited to have Emilia Pérez as our curtain-raiser and The Count of Monte Cristo wrap up the Festival this year – two films that feature music in spectacular ways,” said Cécile Rap-Veber, President of The Franco-American Cultural Fund and CEO of SACEM. “The Count of Monte Cristo” is a swashbuckling 19th-century-set film starring Niney as Edmond Dantès, who was freshly promoted to ship’s captain and finally in a position to marry his secret love. The movie, scored by Jérôme Rebotier, brings together a starry ensemble cast, including Anamaria Vartolomei, Anaïs Demoustier, Laurent Lafitte, Bastien Bouillon, Patrick Mille, Vassili Schneider and Pierfrancesco Favino, along with Niney.
