“Even though Duras’ novel was written in 1953, the way she portrays the complexities of these relationships is very modern and universal,” said Berdugo, who is participating in the MIA Market in Rome. “‘Azuro’ is a sensual and suspenseful film dealing with love, friendship, and the attraction, temptations and difficulties that couples face,” said Berdugo, an industry veteran who previously presided over the banner Roissy Films for more than 15 years before selling to EuropaCorp in 2008. The cast is headlined by Valerie Donzelli, the helmer-actor of “Declaration of War,” Nuno Lopez (“An Easy Girl”), Florence Loiret-Caille (“The Bureau”), Thomas Scimeca, Maya Sansa and Laetitia Dosch.Ĭité Films, a film company founded in 1997 and run by Berdugo, is co-producing and handling international sales on “Azuro.”
