S. each year. Since efforts began four years earlier, Deutchman has aided in the marketing and other aspects of the release, with previous titles including Honey, Marco Bellocchios Dormant Beauty, and Bernardo Bertoluccis You and Me. However, Indivisible marks the first time that Deutchman will be serving as the de facto distributor. In doing so, he will be experimenting with a new approach, by hiring a team exclusively to work on the release of the film. This pop up distribution company, as Deutchman described it, was inspired by a model he had seen in other areas of the film industry.

Audiences for foreign language films in theaters have diminished in recent years, but Deutchmans strategy emerges at a moment of extreme uncertainty surrounding the prospects for Italian films in particular. In 2. 01. 6, the highest grossing Italian release in the U. S. was the Cannes acclaimed Mia Madre, the latest comedy from Nanni Moretti, one of only a few Italian filmmakers known in America it also boasted an American star, John Turturro.

S. was four years ago, with Paolo Sorrentinos The Great Beauty, which won the Oscar for best foreign language film. Notably, Sorrentinos subsequent features Youth and the HBO series The Young Pope were both in English.

They have to understand that putting films into the theatrical market just to raise its profile elsewhere isnt going to help the health of the theatrical market. For Indivisible, Deutchman was keen on exploring a new avenue for Cinema Made In Italys goal. Their interest is in seeing a continuity where audiences can expect, at any given time, that there are Italian films in the marketplace, he said. Theres a hole in the foreign language film market.
