‘Mothers’ Instinct’ Set for China Theatrical Release (EXCLUSIVE)


The Benoit Delhomme-directed psychological thriller 'Mother's Instinct' is set to release in mainland China cinemas.

Directed by cinematographer-turned-helmer Benoît Delhomme, the 1960s film depicts a pair of model homemakers and next-door neighbors whose close friendship is severely undone by sudden tragedy. In 2022, JL Film was on board “Life Is Beautiful” and “Wrath of Man” and in 2019 it handled “Knives Out.” Its current slate also overseeing the end of May release of concert documentary, “Ryuichi Sakamoto|Opus.” Variety ’s review called it “a suburban psychodrama too silly to secure our belief and too reserved to pass muster as go-for-broke camp — but still compulsive enough, twisty enough and finally berserk enough to keep us hooked through all its tonal and narrative lane-changing.”
