Freya Mavor [1],[2] & Stacy Martin: La dame dans l’auto avec des lunettes et un fusil @ The Lady In The Car With Glasses And A Gun (2015) Trailer

Rough Synopsis

Dany is the ad agency secretary to Caravaille. She is asked to drive him to the airport and park the car in the lot after working at his home the night before. Getting in the wrong lane, she decides to use the car for a weekend getaway and return in time to collect Caldwell upon his return. Soon she is recognized in places she has never been before. She picks up a hippie and makes love to him only to find he has stolen the car in the morning. Dany finds the car and the hippie, but there is now a dead body in the back seat. She finds where the dead man lived and takes the body to the house. Dany finds erotic nude photos of herself in the strange man’s apartment even though the two had never met. She begins to suspect that her boss and his sluttish wife Anita are setting her up to take the fall for the man’s murder.

Joann Sfar has taken his acclaim as a comics artist and used that momentum to bring his particular visual flair to the world of filmmaking, making his directorial debut with 2010 biopic “Gainsbourg.” While narratively uneven, the film undoubtedly boasts strong imagery which renders his foray into genre movies via the upcoming “The Lady In The Car With Glasses And A Gun” all the more intriguing.
Starring Freya Mavor, Elio Germano, Benjamin Biolay and “Nymphomaniac” star Stacy Martin, and based on the book by Sébastien Japrisot, the story kicks off when an enigmatic woman takes her employer’s car for a joyride. Along the way, she encounters a variety of people who claim to have seen her before, and things become even more twisted when a dead body is discovered in the trunk.
“The Lady In The Car With Glasses And A Gun” opens in France on August 5th. No word yet on a U.S. date or distributor, but perhaps it’ll hit the festival circuit. [Filmosphere]
