Days of Glory is returning to NYC, and Avenue Montaigne is currently showing there. Tell No One and Don't Worry, I'm Fine will be showing in the Rendez-Vous with French Cinema. Cairo Nest of Spies and Being Jacques Chirac and Lady Chatterley I haven't seen. Lady Chatterley was at the Berlinale and is a big critical success. I Find You Very Handsome was at the 2006 Rendez-Vous and Les amitiïés maléfiques/ was the 2006 NYFF. Malik Zidi among other films can be seen in Ozon's Water Drops on Burning Rocks .
