EXCLUSIVE: Yellow Veil Pictures has acquired all North American rights for Lucile Hadžihalilović’s dark fairy tale The Ice Tower, following its buzzy world premiere in competition at the Berlin Film Festival.
Set in the 1970s, the picture follows runaway Jeanne (Clara Pacini) who falls under the spell of Cristina (Marion Cotillard), the enigmatic star of The Snow Queen, a film being shot in the studio where she has taken refuge.
A loose adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen’s fable “The Snow Queen,” Hadžihalilović’s fourth feature marks her second collaboration with Cotillard after 2004’s Innocence, and also co-stars August Diehl, Marine Gesbert, and a cameo performance from director Gaspar Noé.
Hadžihalilović’s other features are Evolution (2015) and Earwig (2021) which both world premiered at San Sebastian as did Innocence.
