After playing to great acclaim in France in February, the French family comedy "Billy & Buddy" ("Boule et Bill") is coming to the States! 

DISTRIB Films Presents

Billy & Buddy

(Boule & Bill)

 A French family comedy based on the comic strip by Jean Roba

Opening Friday, November 8^th at New York's Quad Cinema

Based on Jean Roba’s beloved comic strip, Billy & Buddy recounts the misadventures of 8-year-old Billy (Boule) and his cocker spaniel, Buddy (Bill). With sparkling imaginative style and a lively soundtrack, the film brings to life a family’s humorous trials and tribulations in 1970’s France.

Buddy is an abandoned young cocker spaniel waiting for a new owner to adopt him. When Billy – a little boy whose hair is as red as his own – appears, it’s love at first sight and the beginning of a great friendship. Not so much for Billy's parents, however... Together with Caroline, the amorous tortoise who joins the family, Billy and the irrepressible dog test the family’s patience and well-laid plans. Between Buddy’s harrowing balancing act on the balcony rail and Caroline’s wild ride down the garbage chute, Billy must use his cowboy courage and smarts to keep them all together.

Billy & Buddy is ultimately a nostalgic, sincere story about the magic of childhood and the joy of family adventures.

(Written and directed by Alexandre Charlot and Franck Magnier. Starring Franck Dubosc, Marina Foïs, and Charles Crombez and featuring voices by Manu Payet and Sara Giraudeau. The film runs 90 minutes.) DISTRIB Films specializes in the distribution of French movies in the U.S., including high profile independent movies that often premiered in first-class international festivals, and movies targeted to both French and American cinephile audiences.
