A longtime passion project for star and Academy Award-winning actress Juliette Binoche, “Between Two Worlds,” opening Friday at Lincoln Theater, is adapted from Florence Aubenas’s bestselling nonfiction work “Le Quai de Ouistreham” (“The Night Cleaner”) and marks Emmanuel Carrère’s return to directing for the first time since 2008. Carrère has achieved world renown and acclaim as an author and has been described as the most exciting living writer!

(NR; 1 hour, 47 minutes)
