IFC nabs "Look of Love" Sundance comedy

IFC Films has acquired North American rights to Michael Winterbottom's "Look of Love" from Studio Canal, TheWrap said.

"Look of Love" premiered Sunday, Jan 20 at the Sundance Film Festival. The film, with a screenplay by Matt Greenhalgh, stars Steve Coogan, Anna Friel, Imogen Poots, and Tamsin Egerton, and was produced by Melissa Parmenter. Andrew Eaton, Jenny Borgars, Katherine Butler, Norman Merry, Danny Perkins, and Piers Wenger executive produced the project.

Coogan stars in the true-life story of Paul Raymond, the man behind Soho’s notorious Raymond Revue Bar and Men Only magazine. In this latter-day King Midas story, Raymond becomes one of the richest men in Britain – at the cost of losing those closest to him.
