What are you talking about?

Stéphane and his army land at the Avignon Festival to play “mine and is inserted”, Boulevard game. He receives a rising actor who plays in the classics and meets his spell. Due to the misunderstanding, it imagines the Rodrig translator, the main role of Cornell’s prestigious “CID”. That he will have to spend time with the festival … but which will exceed it very quickly.

Avignon, as he offers in his name, takes a city of the same name for decoration, which is known to be the cradle of the famous theater festival that stands there every year. The film has a good idea to conquer a piece of life from a theatrical company, and the festival is fully underway.

The square crosses the romantic comedy and the army comedy. The result is a film whose intrigue is attractive, full of destiny and alternately and characters, including the Baptiste Lecaplain, which we had in our microphone.

The film perfectly takes into account the extraordinary energy and atmosphere that lives in these places during this period. “For the first time, when I went to the Avignon Festival, I really have hallucinations, says director and script by Johann Dionette. “I took into account the hallucination because I didn’t think I was getting so many emotions for so many days, because we were obviously spending our day to see the show. There are 1,500 shows, so at least we don’t see everything.

Avignon Festival is a kind of colored antil

I went to see the shows where I laughed a lot, others where I cried a lot and that’s the same day. The weather is nice, hot. There are people on the street to come and you have to explain what they are doing. There are parades, there are people who are disguised, there are musicians … When I first came, it was really just like the festival, and I told myself it was absolutely necessary for one day to do the Avignon Festival“

He continues: “It’s funny that most of the time when actors say they are Avignon, they are tired of going there, but when they don’t do it, they say to themselves: p ***, I’m not in Avignon this summer. Because it feels, for the theatrical world, there should be a bit of a place. For example, when you go to Cannes or do a festival at a big film festival, it’s nice to be there.“

Johann Dionette continues: “It’s not just a romantic comedy, it is also a comedy of troops. I was like all the rest, I think, brilliant movies. I love troops comedies, group comedies. I consider it beautiful. And in Avignon, it is. Because in Avignon, we are together for 30 days together. So, inevitable, it creates links and it creates a small family. I thought it was very good in the comedy of the army, in the gang comedy. “

In addition to the atmosphere of a very successful army, Avignon is a romantic comedy that is full of charm. It is carried out by very lucrative actors, from Baptist Leukplen to Alison Willer, who is passed by Eliza Erka.

Avignon has been in the cinema since June 18.
