Sundance Selects has snagged all North American rights to Claire Denis’ “Let the Sunshine In,” Variety reports. The dramedy just made its world premiere at Cannes, where it received positive reviews, with many singling out the film’s star, Juliette Binoche. The Oscar winner plays a middle-aged artist and mother looking for romance.

Formerly known as “Dark Glasses,” the French-language film is inspired by “A Lover’s Discourse: Fragments,” a 1978 book by influential French literary theorist Roland Barthe. Denis co-wrote the script with Christine Angot. Its French title is “Un Beau Soleil Interieur.”

“We absolutely loved Claire’s touching and funny take on finding love and are thrilled to be back in business with her, Juliette Binoche, and our friends at Film Distribution,” said Jonathan Sehring and Lisa Schwartz, co-presidents of IFC Films/Sundance Selects in a statement.

Binoche won an Academy Award in 1997 for “The English Patient” and earned a second nomination in 2001 for “Chocolat.” She was last seen in the Scarlet Johansson-led sci-fi film “Ghost in the Shell.”

Denis, whose previous films include “Beau Travail,” “35 Shots of Rum,” and “Bastards,” is in pre-production on “High Life,” a futuristic space adventure co-written by Zadie Smith. “[I want to] put the camera in the direction of the people I want to see and not the people I watch on TV,” Denis has said. She explained that she feels “obliged to go to people that should be seen, that should be in the light.”
