The world premiere of Roman Polański's Venus in Fur took place on May 25, 2013 at the Cannes International Film Festival. The film is an adaptation of a play by David Ives, who also co-authored the script. The main character in the film is Thomas, a theatre director on a search for an actress to play the main role in his new play. None of the applicants meets his expectations, but, just as the resigned Thomas is about to give up, Vanda runs in to the theatre. The leading roles are performed by Mathieu Amalric and Emmanuelle Seigner. Paweł Edelman is the DOP.
