SERIES MANIA 2024 SELECTION
REMATCH CHESS WORLD SERIES
One of the series that will compete at this year's Series Mania next month is REMATCH a co production between Hungary and France, starring our dear Christian Cooke .Inspired by real events, this captivating thriller immerses us in the most decisive chess game in history – the second match between the champion Kasparov and the computer Deep Blue. With the advancing technological breakthroughs of our age, this fascinating duel still has resonance today, at a time when artificial intelligence is raising new challenges. Our favourite hunks Tom Austen and Luke Pasqualino also star next to Sarah Bolger, Trine Dyrholm and Aidan Quinn.
A DANGEROUS FRIENDSHIP FROM FRANCE
I already informed you about this one, but French historical series A
DANGEROUS FRIENDSHIP from French Television will lead the French
competition at the festival! Adapted from the historical saga by
Juliette Benzoni, Alain Tasma’s
series Une amitié dangereuse gives us an innovative portrait of two
young women reclaiming their desire, at a time when sexuality was above
all a political lever. It is a story of queen Anne of Austria, the wife
of French king Louis XIII and Mary Duchess of Chevreuse!
I'll probably be interested in a chess movie, just like "The Queen's Gambit" on Neflix. I like to play chess.
ReplyDeleteShould be nice because it has a really nice cast.
DeleteI forgot about A Dangerous Friendship. I think I'd watch both of these, but I don't think either would be at the top of my list.
ReplyDeleteHope we will manage to catch some of them, but French series are usually unavailable to us.
DeleteThe Rematch seems quite interesting and I would love to watch it!
ReplyDeleteHope the French sell it to some English lg streamer so that we can watch it.
