On Monday, October 10, 2022, TF1 offered viewers the finale of the mini-series Les Combattantes. An average of 4.76 million viewers watched the final parts of the adventures of the heroines played by Audrey Fleuro, Camille Lou, Julie de Bona and Sofia Esaid. Pleasant success for one.
Among the fictional characters that will soon appear on Netflix, the public was also able to discover the fate of Colin, the soldier Maxence Dunnett-Favell (SKAM France, Need for love). In Les Combattantes, he finds his story closely related to that of Marguerite, a prostitute whom Audrey Fleurot attributes to her.
Moreover, in episode 5 of the historical saga, the characters share a moving scene. At a French army camp, Colin learns that one of his men has died of an overdose in a tent after taking drugs. An intense and special scene to film for Maxens Dunnett-Fauwell, who revealed that he acted in total improvisation!
The young man recalled: “Something was written in the script and Alexandre Laurent came to me fifteen minutes before the shooting. He told me, we are changing everything! I’ll put sixty supplements in front of the tent, Audrey will be with them. You go in, a soldier overdoses and you come out, then you crush them all one by one. Like a full metal jacket!’“
“It was all completely improvised, so I was nervous because I was standing in front of sixty people. Maxens Dunnett-Favell admits. I, who didn’t do theater or anything, felt the pressure in front of everyone. We did it blindly and I saw the rendering on the screen… I was relieved and proud! It was cool.“An enriching experience for an interested director.
