Netflix Nears North American Deal for Lea Seydoux Cannes Drama Gentle Monster

Netflix is close to a North American deal to acquire Gentle Monster, a Cannes Competition drama by Marie Kreutzer starring Léa Seydoux as an experimental pianist whose husband is accused of a second online life as a pedophile; the film marks Seydoux’s first onscreen singing role and is positioned as an Oscar-contender, with rights also expected for the UK, Australia and New Zealand as MK2 Films sells the title at Cannes.
