Eric Rochant & Cecile deFrance, Mobius

Tribeca Film Festival 2013: Eric Rochant's Mobius, which screened at Tribeca in the hope of getting American distribution, teams two of the most attractive people on planet Earth in a Monaco-set spy thriller cum love story that would seem to define Euro-pudding with its cast which includes Tim Roth and Wendell Pierce, speaking Russian, English and French. Cecile deFrance, one of France's most luminous stars and familiar to American moviegoers for Clint Eastwood's Hereafter, The Dardennes', The Kid with a Bike, opposite Vincent Cassell in Mesrine and the effervescent remake of Around the World in 80 Days, teams with Oscar winning Best Actor Jean Dujardin (The Artist) as spies whose affair, the filmmaker hopes, might remind viewers of the torrid coupling of Ingrid Bergman and Cary Grant in Alfred Hitchcock's glorious Notorious.
