Hi Mike,

I'm from France and I've just discovered this movie in your post.

There's no promotion for it (apart of few critics in the press)...it's underground, this movie passes in very few cinemas in Paris (so also in France).

The lights are at present shot to the Cannes film festival's movies...so there's no really chance for this one to emerge.

I'll try to have more infos about music/soundtrack selection...the adviser for the music probably comes from the Northern soul scene (...and we're so little in France)

This movie definitively won't be the next "The Artist" (!)

Oh dear. Good tunes though

I've more infos about this movie.

My friend & dj Stephane (doc) Yver was behind the musical selection (the secretive)...but he did this 3 years ago!...

The movie was already ready for a long time and it went out only recently.
