Michaël R. Roskam’s WWII drama “Le Faux Soir” has been selected as the closing-night film of this year’s San Sebastián Film Festival. Both outlets report the film will be shown in the festival’s Official Selection out of competition, marking its European premiere in San Sebastián.
According to Variety, the movie world-premieres at Toronto before arriving in Spain, and Deadline similarly says it screens at TIFF prior to San Sebastián. The festival is scheduled to run from September 18 to 26, with “Le Faux Soir” closing the event. The films are described as a Belgian-French production and a resistance drama, with Roskam directing. Both sources also note that the film is based on a published book, though the specific title and author are not included in the provided excerpts.
The coverage aligns on the film’s festival placement, release sequence (Toronto/TIFF followed by San Sebastián), and Roskam’s authorship, with differences limited to how the timing is described and the level of detail on the adaptation.
