Gerard Depardieu in Abel Ferrara's 'Welcome To New York'.

I was surprised not to have heard anything about this upcoming film (although it still seems to be searching for international distributors), based around the Dominique Strauss-Khan scandal.

Depardieu has taken the role at no cost and has spoken publicly about his dislike for Strauss-Khan. Ferrara is also unlikely to pull any punches when it comes to telling the story!

Sounds really interesting and I hope it gets an international release very soon.

Looks...rather hedonistic! Not like Ferrara to go for controversy or shock value at all

Just watched it. Depardieu is (surprise, surprise) well able to do a self pitying sack of ****. Be ready for seeing him naked and not at his eh...best. So not one to watch over dinner.
Jacqueline Bisset walks off with it as the Pissed Off Wife who props him up. Must find more of her movies.
