"Violetta, 10 ans, est élevée par sa grand-mère roumaine, Mamie, arrivée en France il y a quarante ans avec sa fille Hannah. Elles vivent dans un tout petit appartement en bordure du périphérique. Leur quotidien est ponctué par les apparitions de Hannah, la mère de Violetta, une photographe fantasque qui subvient plus ou moins aux besoins de la famille grâce au « mécénat » de son ami Ernst, peintre célèbre."

Wow! Wow! Wow!!

This movie has been in the works for YEARS; I can't believe she finally ACTUALLY got it made!!

Years ago CiC linked to a 'Mala...' website that had tons of pix from the movie and a lot of information about Eva Ionesco... One thing I remember was an interview with her where she said that she was working on a controversial film that mirrored her childhood...

It seems like it had a different title, and for awhile I think there was even some info. about it on her imdb page..

Never-the-less, here it is at last!!! :heart :heart :heart

Many thanks, augarde, for bringing this to our attention! I will definitely be following this one to it's DVD release!! (Hopefully it will hit some of the local festivals and/or art cinemas.. :pray )

You bet. Her first announcement was for 1999. I still don't believe in this Millenium work... :think

That's correct. World premiere will be at this years Cannes Film Festival. Hopefully it will then go on to other film festivals.

I also found a short synopsis in English:

Violetta, 10 years old, lives in a small apartment with her grandmother. Her mother, Hannah is an unpredictable photographer who lives off the patronage of her friend Ernst, a famous painter. One day, Hannah forces Violetta to pose as a model. The pictures quickly get hyped up among the Parisian crowd of the 70’s and Violetta gets into the game. In between the frontier of her sudden rise as a new provocative star and her dull childhood, her fairy tale turns into sufferings. A portrait of the 70's and a reflection on the limits of artistic creation.

LOL I don't see what this has to do with the "other" my little princess.
I guess Ionesco changed the title, because it's rather hard to sell a film called
"I’m not a fucking princess" -- which was it's original title.
(see: http://www.rom1.fr/chris_blog/?p=9116 )

Anyway, there's a HD Bande Annonce (trailer) over here:

Still can't believe it, Eva making a movie about her obsessed mother, Isabelle Huppert playing the role,
and last but not least

Anamaria Vartolomei

Can't wait! :onfire
