For all you Fantasia Fest watchers out there, the closing night film has been announced: Régis Wargnier’s Pars Vite et Reviens Tard (English title: SEEDS OF DEATH).
Wargnier won the Foreign Language Oscar in ‘93 for INDOCHINE – but he’s tried his hand at a a thriller about the plague this time ‘round!
Spring has arrived, but it brings little joy to Parisian policeman Jean-Baptiste Adamsberg. Distance is growing between him and his fiancée, Camille, a burden he can ill afford to shoulder – Adamsberg is about to be drawn into an investigation that will demand all he can give, as an shadow of malevolent mystery spills across the City of Lights. Strange symbols are found scrawled on doors, and voices carry through the night streets – evil is afoot! But it is when a body is discovered, nude, blackened, its face contorted into hideous grimace, that the matter takes on a fearful urgency. For these are the signs of the plague, a mediaeval scourge seemingly revived, and worse yet, guided by a hidden hand.
