Thieves on Netflix: Which is the legendary movie location where Melanie Laurent shot her movie?

With Voleuses, Mélanie Laurent signs an action comedy centered around three robbers engaged in one last dangerous mission. To carry out their work, the characters travel to many places and it is a feast for the eyes of the audience. It must be said that the director did not choose his settings by chance, as he explained to AlloCiné.

The main action of the film takes place on the island of Ile de Bote in Corsica. “Even before writing, I wanted to shoot in CorsicaMelanie Laurent reveals. I had a bit of fun actually. I was given the opportunity to pursue my ambitions, and that was great, because all great action movies open with crazy circumstances. These crazy places that make you dream because you never know where they are placed, it was my imagination.It was in this dream that the thieves’ villa was found.

When Alex and Carol discover Sam, they meet him on his favorite terrain: the racetrack. This series was filmed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Although the location is difficult to access, the film crew was able to spend a day there to capture as many shots as possible.

In the final scene of Thieves, Sam and Alex find Carol in a western-like desert. This is no accident: this part was filmed in the Bardenas desert in Spain, which is more than 42,000 hectares.

Classified as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO, this natural park has hosted numerous films and TV series, from James Bond (The World Is Not Enough) to Game of Thrones, including Ridley Scott’s Cartel.
