1-2 Special, a New York-based distribution company, acquires all North American rights to Marine Atlan’s drama “La Gradiva,” following the film’s win at Cannes Critics’ Week. Both outlets report the acquisition as a North America distribution deal and link it directly to the film receiving the top prize at the Critics’ Week event in Cannes.
“La Gradiva” is described as following a group of French high school students on a class trip to Naples. The story is set against the backdrop of Pompeii’s ruins, with the trip unfolding in what outlets characterize as a charged historical and emotional setting. The reports emphasize the film’s youth-focused, school-based premise and its location and themes connected to Pompeii.
The coverage does not include additional details such as release dates, marketing plans, or specific theater-to-streaming strategies. Overall, the reports focus on the Cannes Critics’ Week achievement and the subsequent North American rights acquisition by 1-2 Special.
