Bille August - The Pact

Two-Time Palme d'Or and Academy Award-Winning Director, Bille August discusses with Jan Price his new film, “The Pact” – currently playing in select L.A. and N.Y. theaters!It’s 1948 - and sixty-three-year-old OUT OF AFRICA author Karen Blixen (pen name: Isak Dinesen) is a lonely literary sensation devastated by syphilis and mourning her lost love until she meets talented thirty-year-old poet Thorkild Bjørnvig. She offers him a Faustian bargain and promises him stardom if he obeys her unconditionally. As her demands become more and more pernicious, Thorkild must choose between Blixen’s promise of fame or his wife and young son. From director Bille August (PELLE THE CONQUEROR) comes this sterling adaptation of Bjørnvig’s bestselling memoir. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
