Films high in emotion and colour nabbed some of the top prizes at the 26th Lumières Foreign Press Awards in Paris on Tuesday night. Adapted to Covid-restrictions, the show went on, in a TV studio with only the technical crew as spectators. Despite the constraints, the artistic talent shone through.
Les choses qu on dit, les choses qu on fait starring Camila Jordano and Vincent Macaigne with Emilie Dequenne and Nils Schnieder won the Best Film Lumière Award. Some like to describe director Emmanuel Mouret as France s answer to Woody Allen.
