ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRAILER FOR CESAR CHAMP FATIMA

It's been a bloody long time coming, since its Cannes debut last year in the Directors' Fortnight section, but Philippe Faucon's Fatima is finally coming to US theatres later this month, courtesy of Kino Lorber. The above trailer is the first English language look at the film, which won the Cesar for Best Film earlier this year. No UK release date has yet been confirmed; hopefully it'll be soon. Out in the US on the 26th of August.

FATIMA WINS THE CESAR FOR BEST FILM
