The Princess of France

Young Argentine auteur Matias Pineiro follows up his previous works “Voila” and “Rosalinda,” re-imagined Shakespearian comedies, with another clever adaptation. Here, a theater troupe in Buenos Aires attempts a radio production of “Love’s Labour's Lost.” As part of this year's Wavelengths section at TIFF, Artistic Director Cameron Bailey says the filmmaker is,“further fusing the languages of theatre and literature – not only their syntax, but their musicality – with that of cinema, drawing us into a sinuous world in which love, art, music, and performance seamlessly coalesce...The pace is breathless, the execution never shy of exuberant.”
