Pacific Northwest Pictures (PNP) has picked up the Canadian rights to French-language film LOLO, a romantic comedy written and directed by Julie Delpy.

The Vancouver-based distributor is set to release the French-language feature theatrically in Canada in late May or early June. The deal for LOLO was negotiated between PNP and Wild Bunch, which is the handling international sales of the film. In the U.S. the film is distributed by New York-based art house distributor FilmRise.

LOLO is produced by The Film, Mars Films, France 2 Cinema, Wild Bunch, and Tempete Sous un Crane with the participation of Canal +, Cine+ and 08.

Last year the film world premiered at the Venice Film Festival and later made its North American premiere in a gala presentation at TIFF.

The film tells the story of a Parisian sophisticate Violette (played by Delpy), whose obsessive 19-year-old son tries his best to scupper her blossoming romance with fun-loving IT nerd Jean-René (Dany Boon).

The acquisition is PNP’s third in a month, after the indie distributor also took the rights to Kris Elgstrand’s Songs She Wrote About Peoples She Knows and Ethan Hawke-starrer Ten Thousand Saints.
