What is it about?
Have you ever been to a strip club? But you already wanted to… at least once… you didn’t dare, that’s all. This movie is about someone who dared.
A few months after the release of La Maison, together with Ana Girardot, who offered us to discover the interior of the brothel, here is My Only Desire, which invites us to the heart of another secret place and source of fantasies: the strip club. .
The film “To My Only Desire”, which takes its name from the place where the story takes place, begins like this: we, the audience, are directly addressed and promised to discover this place and especially these women who make it its soul.
If my only desire has something to do with La Maison (a very sexy side, a gallery of characters and a very documented statement), the comparison stops there. The original screenplay, written by Luci Borletto and Clara Burro, takes a different tack than the first one, avoiding as much as possible the dark or violent situations that a brothel might portray and turning it into a queer romance. My only wish is restricted to children under 12, and the previous one was restricted to 16.

In Lucy Borletto’s film, club life and this love, two stories intersect between the two main characters of the film. “After discovering the strip club, Clara Burrow and I decided to have a love story between us

Aurora and Mia It was going to take over and we were going to explore every nook and cranny of it. I wanted it to be a surprise for the audience, because it’s for the characters themselves, who don’t see this love. The red thread remains a chronicle of the young woman’s life for several months– explains Lucy Borletto in the press kit of the film.
Show fun, inventive striptease shows
About the rather playful approach to this story, the filmmaker explains:Despite the thriving internet porn industry, there are still places like the one shown in the movie. I was interested in being on the side of the virtual rather than the real. I wanted the film to also be entertaining, to show fun, inventive striptease shows. There is an idea of fun sexuality! “Towards My Only Desire” is also a film about theatre, stage art.“
Luisa Chevilot in A is my only wish
The film is supposed to be a fairy tale to some extent, and its narrative begins (and ends) like a fairy tale. “The baroque side of the film allowed me to dare anything. The idea that women might want to expose their bodies has always fascinated me. In art in general and cinema in particular, the female body has been widely used as an element of enchantment, as a leader of loss, with variations from era to era.and add:Therefore, the film constantly plays between plot and reality, questioning our desire for relationship, whether we are trying to excite it or it is straining us.“
The film constantly plays between plot and reality to question our relationship with desire.
There is a lot of nudity in this ode to freedom, a theme that was designed to allow the actors to move freely. “I was well aware that this film could be scary, and I felt that Louise and Zita had the guts and courage to dive into it together. (…) They were on equal terms, while it seems that they have never met and owe everything to the random side of the club..
Spoiler:
To me, that makes this pairing modern and interesting. Their relationship is not about power.”
Zita Hanrot says: “Lucy approaches nudity with great joy. She has a lightness, a generosity, a stupidity that gives you confidence. Because she is, I was able to tame my fears and wanted to follow her. It also leaves room for our imagination. To keep the story and it’s very nice“.
Our portrait of Zita Hanrot:
“We very carefully choose the most respected and respected actors and actresses, continues the filmmaker. The CNC sexual and gender-based violence training that my producer went through was a great tool for our shoot. Before the shooting, we wrote a letter on this question for the attention of the entire team, including the actors and actresses, and Kolya became the referent of our harassment on the set. To make sure everyone was sure, he met with extra assistant Naomi Grand with each extra individually for the club scenes to avoid any potential problems – which I know is never done for extras.“.
Zita Hanrot (Fatima, Plan Coeur, Rouge) responds to Luisa Chevilotta, who was discovered in Philippe Garrel, Louvre for a day in 2017. We have since seen him in Synonymous, The Wisdom of Tears, Benedetta, Our Next World, or the series Les Hautesherbes. Laure Japicon, Pedro Casablancas, Timotee Robart (Les Magnétiques) and Melville Poupo round out the cast.
