The Benicio Del Toro starrer premiered at the Cannes Film Festival;

October 22, 2013 (New York, NY) — Worldview Entertainment has sold the U.S. distribution rights to Arnaud Desplechin’s drama, “Jimmy P.: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian,” to IFC Films. The film, which stars Academy Award winner Benicio Del Toro and Mathieu Amalric, made its world premiere in competition at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival and made its North American debut at the New York Film Festival earlier this month.

 

Desplechin co-wrote the screenplay with Kent Jones and Julie Peyr, based on the book Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian by Georges Devereux about his relationship and multidisciplinary study of Jimmy Picard, a Blackfoot Indian, who fought in World War II and suffered from psychological distress. Pascal Cauchetuex and Jennifer Roth produced while Worldview’s Christopher Woodrow and Molly Conners executive produced with Patrick Milling Smith and Ben Limberg. IFC is expected to release the film in early 2014.

 

“Jimmy P.’ is a sophisticated and moving film and we are happy to partner with IFC after getting such a strong reception in Cannes and New York,” said Worldview CEO, Christopher Woodrow.

 

The deal was negotiated by Arianna Bocco, SVP of Acquisitions, on behalf of IFC Films, and CAA on behalf of Worldview.

 

Worldview’s impressive 2013 slate includes two studio co-financing deals: Alejandro Gonzalez Innaritu’s comedy, “Birdman,” with Fox Searchlight and New Regency, starring Michael Keaton, Emma Stone, Academy Award nominee Naomi Watts, Zach Galifianakis and Academy Award nominee Edward Norton, which is currently in post- production; and Daniel Espinosa’s crime thriller, “Child 44,” with Summit/Lionsgate, starring Tom Hardy, Noomi Rapace, Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman, Joel Kinnaman, Vincent Cassel and Jason Clarke, which wrapped this fall in Prague. The company also financed and produced Kate Barker Froyland’s drama, “Song One” starring Academy Award winner Anne Hathaway; and Zach Braff’s drama, ‘Wish I Was Here,” starring Braff and Academy Award nominee Kate Hudson. Worldview is reteaming this fall with David Gordon Green on the drama “Manglehorn,” starring Academy Award winners Al Pacino and Holly Hunter, which currently in pre-production in Austin, TX. Upcoming for 2014, Worldview announced plans to finance and produce the horror thriller, “Beyond the Green Inferno,” the sequel to Eli Roth’s “The Green Inferno,” which will be directed by Nicolas Lopez next spring in Chile; and Kim Farrant’s thriller, “Strangerland” starring Academy Award winner Nicole Kidman, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving.

    Nadal a encore perdu… un set. Lundi, c’était l’Allemand Daniel Brands. Vendredi, ce fut au tour de Martin Klizan. Le Slovaque, 35e joueur mondial, a pris à son tour un set à Rafael Nadal sur la terre battue de Roland-Garros, “sa” terre battue (4-6, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3). Faut-il s’inquiéter pour Nadal ?

    Seul moyen pour renflouer les caisses, la vente rapide des meilleurs éléments. Les départs successifs de David Villa, David Silva, Juan Mata et, plus récemment, Roberto Soldado sont les exemples les plus parlants. Les autres clubs sont également à la diète, à l’instar du Séville FC, qui a l?ché son meilleur élément Alvaro Negredo à Manchester City, moyennant 25 millions d’euros, mais aussi sa pépite Jesus Navas, pour une somme quasiment identique.

    En revanche, il est clair quil faut, aujourdhui, . Il nexiste pas de chiffres officiels, mais nous constatons, sur le terrain, quils sont de plus en plus nombreux, et de plus en plus sévères. Cest, notamment, vrai pour les  PME  au sens communautaire , qui peuvent bénéficier du remboursement immédiat de leur créance : dès que lentreprise dépose sa déclaration et demande la restitution de son crédit, un contrle fiscal sur pièces se déclenche. Il y a, dailleurs, une certaine logique : ladministration qui doit débourser des sommes, parfois importantes, sassure que certains critères sont justifiés. Mais létat desprit est nouveau : alors quauparavant ladministration remboursait, puis contrlait, cest maintenant linverse.

    Gr?ce à des projets très diversifiés et géographiquement équilibrés et parce qu’il noue des partenariats en amont avec ses principaux grands clients, le groupe a réduit les risques au minimum pour ne pas rencontrer les mêmes problèmes (liés à l’exécution des projets) que l’italien Saipem ou le norvégien Subsea?7. La stratégie de consiste à refuser des contrats trop risqués et à écarter des projets si la marge n’est pas assez confortable, ce qui explique pourquoi sa rentabilité n’a cessé de s’améliorer ces dernières années.

    The vocal recital offering of Pt Upendra Bhat, one of the seniormost disciples of Pt Bhimsen Joshi, followed. He opted to sing Raga Darbari Kanada, again a pet raga of the Kirana gharana. Having a deep sonorous and cultivated voice spread over a range of two and a half octaves, Upendraji presented two traditional bandishes set in ektaal, a teentaal followed by a fast tempo sargam geet set in teentaal expertly in the kirana format. After presenting two bandishes in Raga Basant set in teentaal and ektaal respectively, he concluded his concert with a medley of some popular abhangs. He was ably supported by Omkar Gulvady on tabla, Sudhir Naik on harmonium and Dr Rajendra Durkar on ektari-chipli.
