However, sales for formats in which young girls can watch this by themselves should logically be through the roof.Īs a result, their top-floor apartment is stuffed to the rafters with useless items of decoration, and their home’s colorful jumble and disarray extends to the entire town mother and daughter seem to live in, which feels like a production designer’s wet dream ( Sylvie Olive was the lucky one who got to design it all). Local box office in France was a somewhat discouraging $1.5 million, which is likely what the art department had available for bric-a-brac in bright colors alone. For everyone else, this will mostly be quirky and cute of the trying-too-hard variety, so older family members who might have been wooed by the star power of Ludivine Sagnier and Nathalie Baye, who play the protagonist’s mother and grandmother respectively, will be disappointed. Art-directed to within an inch of its entirely synthetic life, this whimsical and colorful tale is squarely aimed at tween girls for whom “precious” and “twee” might function as marks of quality.
Lou! le journal infime is produced by Bruno Levy at Move Movie and Harold Valentin at Mother Production, co-produced by Studiocanal, France 2 Cinéma and Cinéfrance 1888, with the participation of CANAL+ and France 2.A 12-year-old blonde cutie is hopelessly in love with the boy who lives in the wonky skyscraper next door in Lou!

Shooting will take place from Oct 28 to Jan 17 at the Bry-sur-Marne studios and in Paris.

She lives alone with her mother, Emma, who has put her personal life to one side to concentrate on her daughter. Lou is described as “a creative and lively 12-year old girl”. The first time director has co-written the screenplay with Marc Syrigas, and the film will star Ludivine Sagnier, Kyan Khojandi, Nathalie Baye and Lola Lasseron in the part of Lou.
