“Let the Corpses Tan” has found a home weeks after screening at the Toronto International Film Festival. Variety reports that Kino Lorber snagged North American rights to the neo-Western, directed by Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani.

The French-language film follows a “gang of robbers who are looking to lay low after an armored-car robbery,” the source writes. They “find a seemingly perfect hideout at a secluded residence where a worn-out writer and his muse are living.”

Shooting the film in a remote area presented unique challenges to Cattet and Forzani. “Since the set wasn’t accessible by trucks or cars, but just by helicopter (and no electricity, water…nothing but rocks!), we had to get creative to make this adventure possible,” they’ve explained. “So the main focus of our preparation was based on this challenge — we had to think about every single detail in advance because once the shooting would begin we would be trapped and couldn’t improvise or add more material!”

Elina Löwensohn (“A Very Long Engagement”), Stéphane Ferrara (“Alexander”), and Hervé Sogne (“The Assistant”) star.

Cattet and Forzani previously collaborated on “Amer” and “The Strange Color of Your Body’s Tears.”

“Let the Corpses Tan” made its world premiere at Locarno and has been receiving strong reviews on the festival circuit.

“Hélène Cattet and Bruno Forzani have made a stunning film that’s both a thrilling ride and a beautifully crafted homage to the spaghetti western and classic Italian giallo,” said Kino Lorber CEO Richard Lorber. ”It defines our company’s mantra: experience cinema. We can’t wait to take this release trip with such boldly brilliant filmmakers.”

A theatrical release is planned for next summer.
