“It’s the highest achievement…”: Fabrizio Luchin makes a surprise with La Petite, his new film at the cinema

What is it about?

Joseph learns that his son and his companion have just died in an accident. They were expecting a child through a surrogate mother in Belgium. What will happen to their next child? Is Joseph the legal grandfather?

With the promise of this birth, which will prolong the existence of a son, a sixty-year-old man sets off to meet a young Flemish woman with a fierce and indomitable temper…

A few months after the release of The Happy Man, a comedy with Catherine Froth directed by Tristan Seguela, Fabrice Luchin stars in La Petite. The latter, which was recently presented at the opening of the Angoulême Francophonie Film Festival, is a drama in which we find Fabre Lucchin in a register in which he has become rarer.

“This is a movie about a child miracle. Not a dark movie at all. People are displaced“, Fabris Luchin says to our microphone, met at the Francophone film festival, where he continued the interviews with a smile and dynamic.

“When I got Nicklu’s film, I said to myself “This is super radical‘. I saw the Venice festival, I saw the Cannes festival… 33,000 records, high-end, super-cut! Poom, I see a movie, not at all! I thought he was radical, he wasn’t.” He emphasizes.

Fabrice Luchin continues the form of counter-exploitation that the film offers him, continuing:The ultimate achievement is to give myself a role where the guy doesn’t talk, but he doesn’t stop talking! Her look speaks volumes, this brilliant young lady speaks!“

We caught up with Mara Takin, here’s the podcast interview:

and added: “I take that compliment,’We’ve never seen anything like it‘. But I don’t want to talk about myself, I want to talk about him, Mara Takin. There are several Beatrice Dahls. If he brings discipline into his life, if he takes good acting classes, he will become a must-have actor.”
