Philippe Jakko (Enemy Lines, 5lbs of Pressure, Kaufman’s Game, Notre Dame, Allies) has provided the original score for the upcoming French comedy Meet the Barbarians (Les barbares). The film is directed by Julie Delpy (Two Days in Paris/New York, The Countess) and stars Delpy herself, Sandrine Kiberlain, Laurent Lafitte, Jean-Charles Clichet, Ziad Bakri, JIndia Hair, Dalia Naous and Mathieu Demy. The movie tells the story of the inhabitants of a small town in France as they are preparing to welcome a Ukrainian refugee family and are surprised when a Syrian family shows up instead. Delpy also co-wrote the screenplay with Nicolas Slomka & Matthieu Rumani (This Is the Goat!) in collaboration with Lea Domenech. Michael Gentile (On the Verge, Lolo) is producing the project. Meet the Barbarians will premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival and is set to open in French theaters on September 18, 2024.
