That title might sound like the latest straight to DVD effort from Seagal or Van Damme, but it is actually a new film by acclaimed director Rachid Bouchareb (Days of Glory, London River). Sienna Miller may soon be starring in Just Like a Woman with Bouchareb directing and she said of him:-
“Rachid is one of the most exciting directors working today […] He’s one of those people who understand the medium of film in a way that’s not manipulative but that’s honest and raw. As a director he’s capable of anything. The kinds of films he makes are the ones I like to watch.”
As for Outside the Law, it takes us to the battle in Algeria between those fighting for independence and the French military, with three brothers initially scattered around the world following the loss of their home in Algeria, before being reunited once again. With guns. Outside the Law has already picked up an Academy Award Nomination for Best Foreign Film and looks like being a terrific, intense prestige piece. We’ll find out for certain when it hits UK screens on 6th May.
Empire has snagged itself the new poster, which you can feast your eyes on below.
