Ismael's Ghosts

Running time: 135 mins

A wild love triangle emerges when a wife returns from the dead. Ismael’s Ghosts intrigues and amazes with the story about a middle-aged artist Ismael, Mathieu Amalric (Quantum of Solace), who is confronted by a love triangle not of his own choosing. Academy Award-winner Marion Cotillard (La vie en rose, Inception), entrances as Carlotta, the long-lost wife who mysteriously reappears from the dead after 20 years while Ismael is in the process of making a new film. Sylvia, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg (Cannes Best Actress, Antichrist), is an astronomer and Ismael’s new girlfriend. Will the stars align, allowing Sylvia to outshine Carlotta? The face-off between the two rivals is a brilliant display of supreme acting skills by two powerhouse performers. The story will confound and entice you as it draws you into this film within a film. – Angela Ettinger Sponsored by David S Sobel & Judith L Dethlefs
