Reinventing Marvin [DVD]

From the acclaimed French director of The Innocents and Coco Before Chanel is the latest feature inspired by true life from Anne Fontaine. With a stellar cast including Isabelle Huppert and rising star Finnegan Oldfield, Reinventing Marvin tells the story of an impoverished boy s journey as he escapes his dead-end village to make something of himself with the guidance of three influential figures he meets along the way. Marvin Bijou has escaped the little village in the countryside where he grew up. He has escaped his father s tyranny and his mother s resignation. He has escaped intolerance, rejection and the bullying he suffered from being singled out as different . Against all odds, Marvin, has found allies - his school principal who introduces him to theatre, his mentor and role model who encourages him to tell his story on the stage and finally Isabelle Huppert, who helps produce and bring his show to life. Marvin will risk everything to create this show which represents so much more than success: it is his path to reinvention.
