Circumstances force a filmmaker to reexamine his attitudes about his art and creative principles in this personal project from writer and director Dante Desarthe. Daniel Danite (Desarthe) has spent months putting together his next movie, an ambitious big-budget affair starring Juliette Binoche, but when his star and his financing disappear, the director finds himself starting from scratch. While Daniel has long believed that real filmmaking means shooting on thirty-five millimeter stock, a friend persuades him that ultra-low-budget digital video projects are the wave of the future, and with few resources available to him, Daniel swallows his pride and decides to give it a try. Putting together a makeshift crew and a cast willing to work for next to nothing, Daniel sets out to make a down-and-dirty DV project, but the new approach proves to be a challenge to his talents and expectations, and matters become even more difficult for Daniel when his wife announces she wants a divorce. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Four nameless people are brought together by crime and circumstances in this visually striking drama. A naïve young woman (Isild Le Besco) who studies art and lives with her wealthy family goes to a nightclub one evening and meets a mysterious young man of Moroccan heritage (Ouassini Embarek). The two are immediately attracted to one another, and spend the night together. Not long afterward, the woman gets a phone call from her new lover, who has disturbing news -- he's in the midst of a bank robbery that's gone wrong, and several of his accomplices have been shot by the police. The woman offers to hide the man from the authorities, and he soon arrives with the only member of his crew to made it out alive (Nicolas Duvauchelle). They spend the night hiding out with the young woman, and the next morning, the accomplice's girl (Laurence Cordier) joins the party as the foursome leave France for Spain. However, the thieves and their women don't take well to exile; personality clashes arise, and they discover that the stolen money is more readily identifiable than they imagined. À Toute de Suite was screened as part of the "Un Certain Regard" series at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
