The Films we represent

Cannes Market 2011 presentation
Anton Chekhov's The Duel (90 minutes)

Anton Chekhov's The Duel
by Dover Kosashvili (late marriage, Infiltration)
produced by Donald Rosenfeld (Remains of The Day, Howards End, 40 Sades of Blue, The Tree of Life...)


ANTON CHEKHOV’S THE DUEL is a sumptuous literary adaptation from the director of LATE MARRIAGE (Cannes, 2001) and the Academy Award®-nominated producer of HOWARDS END and THE REMAINS OF THE DAY. Based on a short story by the great Russian playwright, THE DUEL deals with a passion that has turned to dust in the hot sun, and the animosity between two men with opposing philosophies of life.

“THE MOST SUCCESSFUL LITERARY ADAPTATION I’VE SEEN SINCE LADY CHATTERLEY.”
–J. Hoberman, VILLAGE VOICE

“VERY SATISFYING and tonally precise... moments of comedy, dark sentiments, invocations of Tolstoy and a generous attitude toward human frailties.”
–Manohla Dargis, THE NEW YORK TIMES

“MASTERFUL!”
–Kenneth Turan, LOS ANGELES TIMES

Gary Lucas performances to film
We represent Gary in his music to classic film guitar solo performances.
A world class guitar hero, a Grammy-nominated songwriter and composer, an international recording artist with over 20 acclaimed solo albums to date, and a soundtrack composer for film and television, GARY LUCAS is on the move in 2011.
He was recently cited as one of the “100 Greatest Living Guitarists” in Classic Rock magazine (UK).
Festival live guitar solo performances in film festivals over such films as Spanish Dracula
He rocked the 48th New York Film Festival accompanying the legendary 1931 Spanish-language “Dracula” with his original live solo guitar following rave reviews debuting the project at the 31st Havana Film Festival in Dec. 2009 and at, appropriately enough, the Transylvania International Film Festival in May 2010. He received a standing ovation for his Spanish "Dracula" score at the Spanish premiere at the 7th Sevilla Film Festival in Nov. 2010 and followed that with a triumphant UK premiere of the work at Queen Elizabeth Hall closing the London Jazz Festival, which netted Gary a 4 star review in The Guardian.
