Time of the Wolf -Le Temps du Loup

TIME OF THE WOLF reunites French actress Isabelle Huppert with director Michael Haneke after the international success of their last collaboration, THE PIANO TEACHER.

Time of the Wolf was screened out of competition in the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. Patrice Chéreau, a member of that year’s jury, stars in the film, which made the film ineligible for any award. The film was also screened at the Sitges Film Festival, where it won Best Screenplay and was in the running for Best Film.

An apocalyptic calamity has left the people of Europe struggling to survive amidst drastic shortages of food and water. George (Daniel Duval 28 November 1944 – 10 October 2013) and Anne (Huppert) have decided to flee the city to their country house. With meagre supplies, they set out to protect their children, Eva and Ben. To their surprise and horror, they find the house already occupied by another equally desperate family. The ensuing confrontation forever changes the lives of Anne and her children.
They are set adrift in a chaotic, often indifferent world in which their survival hinges on the strained compassion of those they encounter.
TIME OF THE WOLF features a cast of France’s best actors, including Olivier Gourmet (THESON), Beatrice Dalle (BETTY BLUE), and Patrice Chereau (director of INTIMACY).

Johnny Angel
Johnny Angel had the kind of name that belonged on a marquee, but his world was confined to the flickering glow of the silver screen. He wasn't your average film reviewer; he was a maverick, a loner navigating the dark alleys of celluloid dreams. With a fedora that cast a shadow darker than his thoughts and eyes that had seen one too many twisted plots, he sauntered through the city of cinematic illusions. He had a taste for the classics, the black-and-white tales where dames whispered secrets in smoke-filled rooms and men in trench coats chased the truth through labyrinthine plots. Johnny could tell you the difference between a jump cut and a fade-out with a sip of his bourbon, and he'd dissect a director's vision as if he were unraveling a femme fatale's double-cross. His office, a dimly lit room littered with movie posters and a collection of vintage ticket stubs, was his sanctuary. A vintage projector sat in the corner, ready to bring forgotten stories to life, and the scent of nostalgia hung in the air like a fine mist. His fingers danced over the typewriter keys, crafting reviews that were more than mere critiques; they were love letters to a world of flickering emotions. But don't mistake Johnny for a pushover. He'd tear apart a blockbuster with the same gusto he used to praise an indie gem. He had a nose for the nuances, the hidden metaphors, and the whispered messages that filmmakers wove into their celluloid tapestries. He knew when a plot twist was telegraphed like a neon sign, and he could spot a genuine plot revelation like a flicker in a darkened theater. Johnny Angel wasn't just a film reviewer; he was a detective in a world of stories. He'd peel back the layers of a film like he was peering into the heart of a jaded protagonist. He'd find the flaws that others missed, the brilliance that was overlooked, and the moments that left a mark on the soul. In a city where dreams and realities blurred, Johnny Angel stood as a sentinel of truth, revealing the secrets of the silver screen one review at a time. Just like Marlowe, he knew that the world was filled with shadows, but he had the uncanny ability to shine a light on the darkest corners and make them shimmer with the magic of cinema.
