-- Best screenplay, Tribeca Film Festival -- Selection, Berlinale Forum -- From Guillaume Nicloux (The Nun) and starring Michel Houellebecq as himself, The Kidnapping of Michel Houellebecq (L'enlèvement de Michel Houellebecq) opens on September 19th exclusively at Cine Lumiere: September 16th 2011. The TV news networks, newspapers, blogs, websites and radio stations are all reporting on one story: star author Michel Houellebecq, winner of the prestigious Prix Goncourt in 2010, has been abducted. Some members of the media go so far as to suggest that Al-Qaeda may be involved. For the next few days, the news ripples through literary circles and members of the press, feeding buzz and speculation. A brazen kidnapping? An identity crisis? A plan to escape abroad? A schizophrenic delirium? Michel will never provide the media with any rational explanation for what happened to him. Yours to own now:
