The two-part TV drama, “Lo scandalo della Banca Romana” premiered on Italian television this week. On January 17 and 18, 24% of the TV audience watched the film making it the most watched program since the days of broadcasting began. It generated excitement and reopened the debate on a moral issue that goes beyond the historical period. The drama, directed by Stefano Reali, was shot last year in numerous locations in Belgrade. Scenes were also shot in Kotor and Rome. Vincent and Guiseppe Fiorello headed the cast, which included over 50 Serbian actors. As expected, the film attracted great attention by the Italian public because it deals with one of the biggest financial and corruption affairs in Italy's modern history. In late 19th century, “Banca Romana” was one of the six central banks in Italy which had permission to print notes. At the beginning of 1889, the president of the board of ministers, Francesco Crispi, ordered an examination of bank transactions and it proved that “Banca Romana” violated all business and ethical rules - they printed overdrawn notes and, above all, the bank gave “loans” to the most influential politicians, including Crispi, as well as Prime Minister Giovanni Giolitti. |

On January 12th Vincent attended the Launch Party for Glenfiddich Single Malt Rare Editions. The event was held in Paris in the rotunda of the Opera Garnier's cellar, which had never before been opened to the public. The rare whiskey editions from Dufftown, Scotland, included three bottles - 30 years, 40 years and 50 years old. I bet that stuff is quite pricey! On the left in the top row, Vincent is shown with actor Pascal Elbe and in the bottom row, he poses with TV host/writer Beigbeder and his guest, TV host/writer Gonzague Saint Brie and actor Bruno Putzulu. p Back in October Vincent did several Canadian interviews promoting "Demain des l'aube". I recently came across an 8-minute video with Herby Moreau, who hosts an online web site featuring celebrity interviews. You can click on the photo below to access the video. There's also a short video showing Herby and Vincent at this link. |

Six months after its French premiere in August, the DVD for Demain des l'aube will become available in France on February 3, 2010. Vincent recently spoke warmly about his relationship with director Denis Dercourt - "This is a director whom I admire greatly. His screenplay is organized somewhat like a musical score where each note in its place. I like it because I like the detailed work." Both director and actor have traveled together to promote the film over the past few months from Cannes to Brussels to Montreal to Taiwan and NYC. As some of you may recall, the working title was "Loin des balles" (Out of Bullets), which director/writer Denis used right up until the last day of shooting. He was never quite satisfied with the title, desiring a more intimate, lyrical one, perhaps from poetry. The producer presented him with the present title translated "Tomorrow at Dawn" from Victor Hugo. Denis immediately accepted. it. Vincent agrees it's a better title offering the aspect of promise.

Vincent will be among the guests at the upcoming In French Film Festival in New York City in early December. He will present the US premiere of Demain dès l'aube along with director Denis Dercourt. The film will be screened on Friday, December 4, for the opening night, followed by both a Q&A with the actor and director and a buffet gala dinner. The event will take place at the Florence Gould Hall. More information can be obtained at the festival web site.
On November 10th, Vincent arrived at Taoyuan
International Airport in Taiwan to spend three days in Taipei where
his where his latest film, Demain des l'aube" was being
featured.at the Golden Horse Film Festival. Director Denis
Dercourt arrived a day later to participate in the publicity
compaign for the film. This was not Vincent's first visit to the
Chinese island. In 1994, "Queen Margot" was screened, receiving a
widespread popular reception among audiences, and then in 2002, he
returned with the first feature film he directed called "Peau
d'ange". Wearing sunglasses, Vincent showed no signs of fatigue
after the long flight and was typically cordial with reporters. He
remarked that his memories lingered of Taiwan's people and
their enthusiasm so he was very happy to return. Having only eaten
some snacks on the plane, Vincent admitted he was saving his hunger
for the taste of Taiwanese cuisine with a visit to the Din Tai Fung
restaurant, which specializes in Xiaolongbao (marketed as
"dumplings" in the West). County Magistrate Chou Hsi-wei said that during the festival, guests would be presented with a series of activities to allow a more diverse experience while in Taiwan. Among the activities planned were a tea party, a visit to the Beitou hot spring baths and a visit to the National Palace Museum to view the Emperor Yongzheng exhibition. Museum Director Chou Kung-shin apparently was amused by the antics of Vincent and Denis as they donned the elegant imperial robes from the Qing Dynasty. Wearing the costume of Emperor Yongzheng, Vincent said he was most impressed with the fact that the 40-year-old Emperor had 35 children. Some picture-taking then took place with Vincent sending them off to his family on his I-phone. Following the film screening, a Q&A was held at which time Vincent fielded many questions from the audience, personally handing the microphone to each of his fans, and at one point, he even sat directly in the audience to answer questions. The film will be released in Taiwan on December 11th. Be sure to check out all the festival photos. Video coverage can be viewed at the following links: Video 1, Video 2 and Video 3.

Vincent and director Denis
Dercourt visited Montreal last week to discuss their film, "Demain
des l'aube," which recently premiered at the Montreal
Festival du Nouveau Cinema. The film, which was an official
selection in the Un Certain Regard category at the Cannes Film
Festival this year, highlights a family drama in an unusual context.
Vincent explains, "This film is about brotherhood. One brother
(Matt) has managed his life and the other (Paul) has never cut the
umbilical cord. It's quite disturbing, actually that there is a real
world and an unreal world." The director adds, "I wanted to make
this film a thriller and I wanted the viewer to be involved."
Here are a few photos that appeared in the Montreal media. |

His career was meteoric in the 1990s with films such as Cyrano de Bergerac, Indochine and Queen Margot. His style and seduction in several costume films brought him fame. Vincent has always remembered the canton of Vaud and he could have easily forgotten his roots and those first stirrings of his childhood. Instead, he claims his memories are strong and he remains committed to his birthplace. Vincent speaks about his childhood memories with great enthusiasm and a little melancholy. He says, "I am very attached to my Swiss roots. They include a sacred place for me - the farm of my childhood friend near Cheseaux." Vincent returns to Switzerland regularly as his family still lives there. His life's journey has definitely been one of curiosity, never losing his taste for risk-taking. Besides his work as an actor and director, he went on to pursue his passion for writing and is now the author of three volumes of the comic book, "La Forêt". The award from the Vaudoise Foundation recognizes Vincent as an ambassador of the canton of Vaud and salutes his contribution to the cultural world. |
