Test: 1 swimsuit, 1 movie, you guessed it!

Three years after the success of Glittery Shrimps, the crazy water polo team is back for new adventures! In this sequel, Revenge of the Glitter Shrimp, the team travels to Tokyo for gay games. But because the players miss the match, everyone finds themselves stuck in the depths of Russia, especially in the homophobic region …

If the water sections in this sequel are more rare, the excuse is all found, in spite of everything, to test the knowledge of swimwear in the cinema … short / swimming pens, film, guessing is up to you! Do you do it flawlessly?

Revenge of the rhythmic and shiny, glittering shrimp promises even more adventure and spin. This new part lets you learn more about each of the characters on this attractive gay water polo team.

“The first film was about the triumph of the group, we appreciate the group, this creature … the spirit of the shrimp, the water polo, this madness … here we focus a little more on the characters, we dig into them. Both humor and their pain … we are really going further“, Emphasizes Jeffrey Quet (Xavier) with our microphone.

“Often, sequels are pretext films and rarely are very good. There, indeed, is another film, but we are still in continuityRoland Menu, who plays Joel’s character, explains to our microphone.

“It’s not “we take the same thing and put it elsewhere”, but actually other things are covered– Performed by Roman Lankri (Damien). “The directors had a real idea in mind and the promise was this: the theme really needs to be needed.”

“In the three years since the release of the first part of Glittery Shrimps, a lot has happened in cinema and there seem to be genres that are more moving to the viewer.“, – comments the film co-director Maxime Govare.We really wanted to make an adventure comedy and we had a little more opportunity to make this movie. “

“We did a comedy about LGBT sport that really didn’t exist before and there we thought of an adventure comedy with LGBT characters, it didn’t, so we wanted to do it, we watched a lot of classics, we had a lot of fun– Continues the tandem of directors.“This is a movie that plays with codes, we twist them, we have fun,” continues Nicolas Gobi (Matthias). “He jokes.

In addition to James Bond, the film, which features a blink of an eye in the film, was dictated by one of the influences of Cedric Le Gallo and Maxim Govar:There is such an expediency that is both dramatic and comical, it is a masquerade, as if to another, to lie and disguise.“.

The directors admit that they were also based on certain films that reached the second part, such as Les Bronzés font du ski and La Vérité si je mens! 2. “We even thought of Terminator 2 to develop Matthias’s character! In the first part, Arnold Schwarzenegger is the enemy. In the other he becomes an ally“, They are having fun.

“We wanted to use all the sliders: comedy, aesthetics and subject matter, so a more dedicated subject on many levels. There is a lot of talk about homophobia, state homophobia, usually everyday homophobia, the homophobia that we put on ourselves when we find it difficult to take responsibility for ourselves … There are several layers in the film.– Summarizes Cedric Le Gallo, co-director.

“The word “homophobia” can be dealt with in this way, but what is behind it? Attacks, people campaigning against him, homophobia towards himself, denial in families. (…) “It remains a light film, even if it is a message. This is what makes it beyond comedy and what drives the film.“- concludes Roland Menu.
