Anne Fontaine’s Isabelle Huppert-Starrer “White As Snow” Lands at Cohen Media

"White as Snow"

Anne Fontaine’s contemporary re-telling of “Snow White” has found a home. Cohen Media has acquired U.S. rights to the feminist fable ahead of its premiere at Tribeca Film Festival next month, ScreenDaily confirms. “White As Snow” is screening in the fest’s International Narrative Competition.

The comedy with an “erotic edge” sees Isabelle Huppert playing “evil stepmother Maud opposite Lou de Laâge as her beautiful stepdaughter Claire who sparks her murderous jealousy,” according to the source. The “stepmother and daughter are living together in the late father’s hotel. When stepmother Maud moves to get rid of Claire for good, the young woman flees, finding refuge in a farm, where she encounters seven men who fall under her charm.”

Fontaine penned the script with collaborating writer Claire Barré.

“The Innocents,” “Gemma Bovery,” and “Coco Before Chanel” are among Fontaine’s previous credits. De Laâge starred in “The Innocents,” a period drama about a French Red Cross doctor enlisted to help pregnant nuns.

Tribeca Film Festival runs from April 24-May 5. This year’s competition lineup is 50 percent women-directed.

You can catch Huppert in “Greta,” in theaters now. The thriller centers on a young woman new to New York (Chloë Grace Moretz) and the lonely French widow (Huppert) she befriends.
