- Some news of Farewell : the shooting of Christian Carion's film has begun in France and Ukraine. New photos have been added to the page of the film, taken in the streets of Kiev. Near Paris, huge sets have been built : the ovale desk of the White House, a KGB prison or even a Moscow flat… The film for which Emir Kusturica will have the lead role next to Guillaume Canet and William Dafoe will also star Ronald Reagan and François Mitterrand… more real than nature… The shooting will last all summer and the film should be finished by the end of april 2009. The producer, Christophe Rossignon, says : ”In the skin of the famous KGB spy who offered his services to the west, strange and particularly complex character, incredibly mimetic, Emir Kusturica is just exceptional.”
