Tonight on TV: No, romantic comedies aren’t cheesy, prove it with this charming film

Do you want to watch a delicious (extremely appropriate term) romantic comedy? So head over to W9 tonight to discover the very beautiful feature film Tendre et saignant directed by the duo of Arnaud Duquette and Géraldine Paillas.

Due in theaters in early 2022, Tender and Bloody tells the story of a fashion magazine editor who inherits a family of butchers. As he prepares to sell, he meets Marcial, his father’s artisan butcher, who is determined to fight to save the business. Seduced by the latter’s charisma, Charlie might change his mind…

More than a decade after Bus Palladium, behind the camera director Christopher Thompson signs a romantic comedy full of charm and rhythm starring two actors.

“With Fabrice Roger-LacanWith my co-writer, we envisioned a woman navigating the very modern, sophisticated, very Parisian world of fashion journalism, though rooted in the small neighborhood butcher shop where she grew up.– says Christopher Thompson.

“He comes to terms with his original environment and reinvents his life with the future executioner who worked for his father. The comedy and the love story come from the collision of two environments and two characters.”

Christopher Thompson has a long-standing interest in craft. Thus, the director chose to set the story of “Tender and Bleed” within the walls of a butcher’s shop, in order to capture this profession as closely as possible. And he surrounded the actors with authentic butchers.

“We chose professional butchers, some of whom turned out to be great actors.”Mentions son of Daniel Thompson.

Likewise, I wanted the butchers to speak to each other in “louchebem,” the butchers’ slang they use when they don’t want to understand their customers. It was important that this entire world be accurate and embodied so that it could. A comedy and a love story unfold.”

If these few lines make you drool and you’re a romantic at heart, you know what to do…

Tonight on W9 at 9.05pm.
