Produced by Charles Gillibert (“Annette”) at CG Cinema and represented by Les Films du Losange, “Rodeo” stars newcomer Julie Ledrue a Julia, a hot tempered and fiercely independent young woman who infiltrates an underground dirt bike community in France.After a chance meeting at an urban ‘Rodeo,’ Julia finds herself drawn into a clandestine and volatile clique and striving to prove herself to the ultra-masculine group, but is she is faced with a series of escalating demands that will make or break her place in the community. “Stylish and untamed, ‘Rodeo’ was one of the most energetic films we experienced at Cannes this year,” said Music Box Films’ Brian Andreotti. “Lola Quivoron’s dynamic depiction of an adrenaline-fueled subculture and Julie Ledru’s indomitable performance announce the arrival of two major new talents on the international film scene.”The deal was negotiated on behalf of the filmmaker by Alice Lesort at Les Films Du Losange and Andreotti at Music Box Films.Les Films du Losange has sold the critically acclaimed movie around the world to major distributors, including Madman in Australia and New Zealand, Koch Film in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, I Wonder in Italy, Caramel in Spain, Cineart in Benelux, Alambique in Portugal, Folkets Bio in Sweden, Galapagos in Poland, Vertigo in Hungary, Best Film in the Baltics, Five Stars in Former Yugoslavia, Hugoeast in China and Tel Aviv Cinematheque in Israel.
