According to Brad Pitt, David Fincher doesn’t like anything, but he loved this French movie

David Fincher is probably one of the most sought-after filmmakers in Hollywood. A confirmed cinephile, he is, by some accounts, uncompromising in his appreciation of films. However, a French feature film released last year touched my heart. And this movie is Quiet – Suffering on the Islands by Albert Serra.

The guest was the main performer of the film, Benoit Magimel It depends on you Challenging that for the second and third career in the last two years, he got a Cesar for Pacifiction.

The actress dined with Brad Pitt and David Fincher, who were also at the César ceremony, and shared their thoughts on the film during The Anne-Elizabeth Lemoine Show:

: ‘David Fincher is quite strict. In twenty years, I must have seen it about five times to see the movie. Which means he doesn’t like anything. He told me, “This guy doesn’t like anything but Pacifiction, he loved it.”

The story of Pacifiction takes place on the island of Tahiti, where a representative of the French state (Magimel) visits the local authorities and residents to gather their wishes. But tensions rise as a rumor persists: We’ve seen a submarine whose ghostly presence heralds renewed French nuclear tests.

Benoit Magimel did not reveal what Fincher particularly appreciated about the film, but emphasized that he was a director similar to Brad Pitt. “Elegance” and one “kindness” Rare and this “Like all the great, they are simple!”

Prior to Pacifiction, Magimel won a César for Best Supporting Actor for La Tête Haute in 2016 and Best Actor in a lifetime in 2022. He will be seen again in Dodin Bouffant’s Le pot-au-feu with Juliette Binoche and La Rosalie. Stephanie du Giusto, a free adaptation of the life of Clementine Delaille, the famous 19th century bearded woman.
