Kino Lorber is proud to announce that it will release You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, the latest film by acclaimed French filmmaker Alain Resnais, on DVD on December 10th. The film, which Kino Lorber released theatrically earlier this year, was an Official Selection of the New York Film Festival and an Official Selection - Competition at the Festival de Cannes. Based on two works by the playwright Jean Anouilh, You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet opens with a who's-who of French acting royalty (including Mathieu Amalric, Michel Piccoli and frequent Resnais muse Sabine Azéma) being summoned to the reading of a late playwright's last will and testament. Gorgeously shot by cinematographer Eric Gautier on stylized sets that recall the French poetic realism of the 1930s, You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet is an alternately wry and wistful valentine to actors and the art of performance from a director long fascinated by the intersection of life, theater and cinema.

New York, NY - November 11, 2013 - Kino Lorber is proud to announce that it will release You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, the latest film by acclaimed French filmmaker Alain Resnais, on DVD on December 10th. The film, which Kino Lorber released theatrically earlier this year, was an Official Selection of the New York Film Festival and an Official Selection - Competition at the Festival de Cannes.
Based on two works by the playwright Jean Anouilh, You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet opens with a who's-who of French acting royalty (including Mathieu Amalric, Michel Piccoli and frequent Resnais muse Sabine Azéma) being summoned to the reading of a late playwright's last will and testament.
There, the playwright (Denis Podalydès) appears on a TV screen from beyond the grave and asks his erstwhile collaborators to evaluate a recording of an experimental theater company performing his Eurydice--a play they themselves all appeared in over the years. But as the video unspools, instead of watching passively, these seasoned thespians begin acting out the text alongside their youthful avatars, looking back into the past rather like mythic Orpheus himself.
