- San Sebastián Film Festival has set 'Le Faux Soir' as the closing film of this year's edition, which runs September 18 to 26
- 'Le Faux Soir' is a WWII feature directed by Belgian filmmaker Michaël R. Roskam
- The film arrives at San Sebastián in the wake of its screening at TIFF, positioning it within a fall festival corridor
- The feature is based on a book (per the source, with further literary source details truncated in the excerpt)
Why it matters: A closing-night slot is a marquee placement that funnels the WWII feature into San Sebastián's awards-season spotlight, and the TIFF-to-San Sebastián trajectory suggests distributor momentum behind a Roskam-directed period piece.
