Claude Lelouch's 'Roman de gare' tells the tale of a crime novelist drawn into a serial killer's web.
Claude Lelouch's "Roman de gare" will make its U.S. preem Feb. 29 as the opening night film of Lincoln Center's 13th annual Rendez-Vous With French Cinema fest.
Samuel Goldwyn Films will release the pic in the spring.
Lelouch will be in attendance, as will French filmmakers Sandrine Bonnaire, Nicolas Klotz, Noemie Lvovsky and Claude Miller.
"Roman de gare" stars Dominique Pinon and Fanny Ardant as a bestselling author, who is interrogated by the police due to similarities between events in her novels and the actions of a serial killer.
The Film Society of Lincoln Center's 2008 Rendez-Vous, presented with Unifrance USA, offers up 15 films, all U.S. preems, through March 9 at the Walter Reade Theater and the IFC Center.
