Joanna Arnow’s ‘The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed’ Sells French Rights to Pan Distribution (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comBrent Lang Executive Editor Pan Distribution has acquired French rights to Joanna Arnow’s dark comedy “The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed” following its Cannes Film Festival debut.
Loco Films is handling international sales on the title. The film is a major breakthrough for Arnow, who not only makes her narrative feature directing debut, but also wrote, edited and stars in the picture.
Critics liked her vision, with Variety‘s Catherine Bray praising “The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed” as “brilliantly sardonic” and adding that “you would hope that this is the kind of film that would lead to fame and fortune for Arnow.” The film follows the life of a thirtysomething woman named Ann, as she engages in a casual BDSM relationship, grapples with her low-level corporate job, and deals with her bickering family.
Arnow previously directed shorts including “Bad at Dancing,” “Laying Out,” and the feature doc “I hate myself :).” “The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed” also features Scott Cohen (“Gilmore Girls”), Babak Tafti (“Billions,” “Succession”), and Alysia Reiner (“Fig,” Orange is the New Black”).
