Netflix Unveils Four More French Originals Including Three Documentaries and a Feature Film

Netflix announced four French originals prior to its headquarter's inauguration in the country.

Netflix is soon launching its headquarter in France and amidst the anticipation, the streaming service has unveiled three new documentaries inspired by the regional source. Some of those slates are Move, Gims, and Anelka—all of which are currently being labeled with a try-out title of the same name. In addition, the online media house is also working on a new feature film which has been entitled as, “Of Earth and Blood.” It was at the Series Mania Festival, Lille where Netflix had announced their upcoming French originals.

The titles will start airing on Netflix from 2020 and hence will be available for over 139+million subscribers scattered across 190 countries.

“Move” will follow the story of six contemporary dance choreographers from totally different backgrounds, ranging from the Spanish flamenco to the vertiginous gaga dance, and from Jamaïcan dancehall to American urban and contemporary dance. Netflix outlined the premise of "Move" by saying, “‘the documentary will explore the choreographers’ personal histories, chaotic career paths, convictions, and their translation into bodies, gestures, grace, sweat, boldness, and determination.” The film will be ventured by Falabracks and Gaumont Film Company.
