On October 20, 2021, Pierre Nini announced the realization of one of his dreams: to shoot under the direction of Michel Gondry, the director of two of his favorite films (Be Nice, Rewind and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). And especially his godfather in 2012 during the evening of Cesar’s revelation.
Eleven years later, the actor headlines The Book of Solutions. In which he plays Michel Gondry’s alter ego: Marc Becker, a filmmaker struggling with a difficult and difficult project, the editing of which he leaves to finish editing at Seven, at his aunt’s house.
And it was after its first screening at the Cannes Film Festival on Filmmakers’ Monday, where it caused many bursts of laughter, that we met the actor and his director. Of course, this movie is a dream come true. But also the personal side of this film, which Pierre Nin describes as “Act of Courage”.
Eight years after Germ and Gas, his last feature film, Michel Gondry returns to cinema. With an opus that looks like him like never before. Where the most incredible situations really did happen, and the style that gives its staging charm reappears in this funny and dark story, in which the main character directly addresses his own mental health.
