In the cinema: Ducobu 5… Why should we see the new film in this saga with 5 million downloads?

Get ready for the 5th dose of cheating! The king of the dukes is back in the cinema for the 5th episode of Ducobu passe au vert, still directed by Elie Semoun. The story tells about the new academic year at St. Potachi school.

This year, Ducobu has a genius idea: take a sabbatical year to save the planet, but above all, skip school! But Latush isn’t going to let them off the hook that easily… Fraudulent and eco-friendly, it’s no cakewalk!

After Ducobu 3 and Ducobu Président, Elie Semun is back in front of and behind the camera with Ducobu Green. “With this one, it was like I was starting to learn what it’s like to be a director. I realized that we could go further, do more shots, have the opportunity to try things, make mistakes and start over.”The filmmaker points out.

Always as admirable as Latush, Eli Semun manages to amplify the license, especially by mocking delicate subjects such as artificial intelligence or ecology. On the set of the previous episode, Doucobu President! That Eli Semun realized that children were especially sensitive and attentive to environmental issues.

“The 10 to 13-year-olds are a generation that is very concerned about environmental issues, this hot topic worries them and worries them because unfortunately it’s not going to get better and I saw this opportunity for comedy that can also say something.” “

New Ducobu, even more cheating!

As usual, a new actor was hired to give his features to the student Doukobu. Following Vincent Claude, François Viet, Matthias Gross and Gabin Tommasino, the young Belgian actor Damien Pauwels wears Ducobu’s black and yellow polo shirt. If the lead actor changes with every movie, it’s for a very simple reason: children grow up fast!

Eli Semun went through about a hundred children during the casting process before finding a rare gem: “At first I was afraid his accent would be too pronounced, but he worked on it and it turned out really well. He’s a young guy with a good face who we have to fight to get him to agree to run because: Damien was always in control at first.”

Gerard Junot, the king of frauds!

To help Doukobu in his quest for the ultimate cheat, Mr. Cucumber is here again! He is played by Gérard Junot, who has a lot of fun portraying this colorful character, a specialist in pranks and tricks!

With Kitrish’s help, Doukobu will have to defeat the long-toothed entrepreneur, the film’s villain, played by Nicholas Marr. Emily Cain, Frederic Bell, Loic Legendre, Caroline Angled and François Levantal are also part of the adventure. The latter is still as rough in his St. Potachi’s headmaster’s suit.

A success that cannot be denied
