Metrodome believes in White God

Metrodome’s Cannes haul includes Kornel Mundruczo’s Un Certain Regard winner White God, which the company acquired from The Match Factory.

The deal was negotiated by Metrodome head of acquisitions Giles Edwards and The Match Factory’s head of sales Brigitte Suarez.

Mundruczo’s critically admired drama - which racked up a raft of deals for TMF - charts how a girl’s separation from her dog leads to a canine uprising.

Metrodome’s Cannes pick-ups also include Xavier Dolan’s well-received Jury Prize-winner Mommy; Gerard Johnstone’s horror-comedy Housebound, from Films Distribution; and Elle Driver’s romantic-drama Three Hearts,starring Benoit Poelvoorde as a man who unwittingly falls in love with two sisters, played by Chiara Mastroianni and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
