A bio-pic of a classical composer and fashion maven may not be what you'd expect from French director Jan Kounen but it's what the hyper stylized and unpredictable helmer is turning in next. While the promo shows that this is entirely a more subdued Kounen than the one who made Dobermann, Blueberry and 99 Francs – not to mention one who has seemingly left behind his typical obsessions – he's obviously lost none of his visual flair. Production design and cinematography are simply gorgeous and the performances look to be spot on. Which, of course, you'd fully expect from a film with Mads Mikkelsen in the lead. Now that these two have hooked up is it too much to hope for some sort of action collaboration between the two of them in the future?
