Le sauvage (Call Me Savage)

In this romantic adventure comedy from French writer/director Jean-Paul Rappeneau (“Cyrano de Bergerac,” “The Horseman on the Roof”), Catherine Deneuve stars as Nelly, a young French bride who gets cold feet and flees the altar, with her irate Italian groom (Luigi Vannucchi) in hot pursuit. While she is on the run in Venezuela, Nelly carries with her a priceless stolen painting and meets Martin (Yves Montand), a financially and personally troubled middle-aged French perfume-maker who is fleeing both his marriage and his failing business. Finding themselves in need of each other's assistance, the pair forms an unlikely bond. The 2011 Cannes Film Festival selected “Call Me Savage” as one of its Cannes Classics presentations.
