UK director James Marsh’s literary biopic Dance First<\/em>, starring Gabriel Byrne as iconic Irish writer Samuel Beckett, will close the 71st San Sebastian Film Festival.<\/p>\n

The film is sold by London and Paris-based Film Constellation.<\/p>\n

As per its synopsis, the biopic touches on various phases in Beckett’s life from “Parisian bon vivant, to World War II Resistance fighter, Nobel Prize-winning playwright, philandering husband and recluse.”<\/p>\n

Its focus, however, is on Beckett’s reaction to winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1969, which was a turning point in his life as he grappled with his own inner demons. <\/p>\n
