• Angle Face - The film of Director Vanessa Filho

Right after E-book, a co-produced movie with Charles Gillibert, Ly Nha Ky has announced her second movie starring Marion Cotillard directed by Vanessa Filho. 

With her 10 years experience in business, Ly Nha Ky has proven her talent, her keen visional judgments, and her well designed and executed plans when working with famous and worthy directors, actors and actresses, who could easily ensure a movie’s successes. Leaving the image of just a red carpet walking beauty, Ly Nha Ky is a woman of resources and connections, proving her ability to communicate and handling foreign affair, as well as her business vision, expertise, and wit. Her successes are deeply grounded and no one can deny it.

While Moana Films and Windy Production are big names in the film industry of France, Marion Cotillard is their biggest and most beloved star of the 21^st century. The 43-year-old beauty is now the highest paid French actress in the past century. She has been in many famous projects since her very first step into the capital of films. After a noticeable supporting role in Big Fish by Tim Burton (2003),  she has had her big break in A Very Long Engagement (2004). And the year 2007 marked a glorious time in the beauty’s career with her stunning performance in La Vie en Rose. Turning herself in to the famous singer Édith Piaf, Cotillard spent a whole year being lavished with awards after awards, from BAFTA, César, to Golden Globe and the Oscar for Best Female Lead. The 42 years old star has become the very first actress to win both the César and the Academy Award for the same role. Marion Cotillard is also one of the only 3 French actresses to win an Oscar after Simone Signoret of 1960 and Juliette Binoche in 1997.

In her newest project by director Vanessa Filho, Ly Nha Ky is working with Moana Films and Windy Production.

Vanessa Filho is the famous director in French Blood (2015 and Mobile Home (2017). 

Marion Cotillard – the brightest French star of the century

Marion Cotillard – the French Rose will be starring in Angel’s Face, along with Alban Lenoir, Lubna Azabal… in settings of Southern France. While Moana Films and Windy Production are big names in the film industry of France, Marion Cotillard is their biggest and most beloved star of the 21^st century. The 43-year-old beauty is now the highest paid French actress in the past century. 

With Marion Cotillard in Angel’s Face, Ly Nha Ky is more than confident about the artistic quality of her newest project. Having her fair share in the acting work, Ly Nha Ky understands the fundamental contribution to the successes of a movie depends on a passionate group of producers, and a top of the game team. For that reason, she did not hesitate to invest a considerable amount of money to this project, gathering a cast of many world famous stars. 

Angel’s Face has been shot about 80% of the scenes, there will be work for the next few days and the movies will enter editing and final tuning. Her constant investments in international movies through VanVuong Group are considered a great milestone in this Vietnamese actress businesswoman’s career.  Day by day, she reveals herself to be a worthy woman of vision, ability, a fearless spirit with burning passion and aspirations. With her talent as an artist, her keen ability of a businesswoman, and her given charm in communication, her fortune is simply obvious. 

Ly Nha Ky shares to us: “ I love working, and participating in this industry on the international playground with more competition and pressure making a name just sharpens me more than ever. From there, I am provided with a wider and further vision”.

‘Angel Face,’ a movie invested and co-produced by Vietnamese artist-turned-businesswoman Ly Nha Ky, will compete at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, organizers say.

The movie will be among 15 contenders for the festival’s Un Certain Regard (A Certain Glance) official selection, which is awarded to international films that tell their stories in non-traditional ways.

It is the second most important award at Cannes after the Palme d’Or (Golden Palm), as many past winners of Un Certain Regard also claimed the festival’s highest prize the same year.

‘Angel Face’ is directed by emerging director Vanessa Filho and stars Marion Cotillard, the only actress to ever have won an Academy Award for a French-speaking role.

Ly Nha Ky, who invested in and co-produced the movie, expressed her happiness to learn that her first international film project had been a success.

The Vietnamese businesswoman has worked on the project since her meeting with Marc Missonnier, a well-known producer in the global entertainment industry.

 Ky is also known for her work as a regular sponsor for the Cannes Film Festival’ Cinéfondation, which provides financial support to young talents in international cinema.

 The former model and actress runs a company that sponsored Vietnam’s promotional campaign at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival.

At the upcoming 2018 Cannes Film Festival, Ky will for the first time walk the red carpet as a film producer. 

‘Angel Face’ is expected to hit cinemas worldwide following its premiere at the film festival. 

“Cannes is a wonderful place to see where Vietnam stands in international cinema, which would enable me to seek a different, more positive direction in the future,” Ky said. 

“However, it is important to emphasize that this is just the beginning. There is still a lot of hard work to be done for me to become an investor and producer in the international market,” she added. 

The 71st edition of the Cannes Film Festival will be held from May 8 to 19 in the city of Cannes in southern France. 

Eighteen films will compete for the Palme d’Or, the festival’s highest prize and considered one of the most prestigious awards in the film industry.
