Tarantino's Big Screen Return in 'Only What We Carry'

Simon Pegg and Sofia Boutella lead the cast of 'Only What We Carry,' a new drama being sold internationally at the European Film Market. The film is set in Deauville, Normandy, focusing on Julian Johns, a former artistic director whose isolated life is disrupted by the arrival of Charlotte Levant. Their reunion forces them to confront buried truths and unresolved grief from their past lives.

Quentin Tarantino makes a notable return to a prominent on-screen role, portraying Julian's publisher who resides at his chateau. Charlotte Gainsbourg appears as Levant's protective sister. The movie is noted for its improvisation-driven approach, inspired by filmmakers like Eric Rohmer and Hong Sang Soo.

International Film Trust is handling world sales for the drama, which is currently in post-production. The project also features Liam Hellmann and marks Lizzy McAlpine's feature film debut. Executive producers, including Laura Auclair, expressed excitement about the ensemble cast's creative process and the film's unique development.
