Jean-Pierre Amerys has a habit of writing several versions of his films. At the end of the 4th year, Luan Emera appeared, César for Most Promising Actress for La Famille Bélier, as Marie-Line. The director has often seen the artist on television and, of course, in La Famille Bélier.

“Once I had her in mind, it helped Marion Michau, the screenwriter, and I draw her character as a little sister.Erin Brockovich. I love England and the girls who dress like that, who don’t realize that everyone is staring at them when they walk into a cafe, and they’re actually soft-hearted.”indicates the director.

I love her courage and honesty. He’s fair, he’s spot on, he doesn’t have a big head at all.

Jean-Pierre Ameris didn’t know Luan at all before the movie. His team organized a meeting “A great fish restaurant, so he doesn’t know he never eats fish… To be honest, I, who don’t have children, if I had a daughter, I’d want her to be a girl like her.

I love her courage and honesty. He’s fair, he’s spot on, he doesn’t have a big head at all. He is really generous, he gave me a lot. “The director emphasizes.

For her part, Luann immediately liked Marie-Line’s mischievous side and the maturity she takes on throughout the film. For the 26-year-old actor, he is a paradoxical character.

“He is light and deep, funny and moving, capable of many things, but does not know his abilities. He is in a constant duality until he fully blossoms and takes responsibility”– the artist appreciates.

This duality gave Luann the feeling of playing several roles in one. “Marie-Line does not know her abilities, she has not had much luck in her life, and meeting this judge will change everything, he will become her spiritual father, she will change her path thanks to him. He looks at himself, considers himself differently” Analyzes the actor.

Marie-Line and Her Judge hits theaters on October 11.
