Gilles Lellouche didn’t have much fun with Narco
In 2004, Gilles Lellouche got behind the camera for the first time for the film Narco (which he co-wrote and co-directed with Tristan Aurouet). As the name suggests, this comedy focuses on the story of Gustave (aka Gus), a sweet and dreamy character, played by Guillaume Canet, who suffers from narcolepsy. This medical condition drags him into a world of daydreams and hallucinations, creating a comic contrast to his daily life.
Gus, who dreams of becoming a comic book author, finds himself involved in incredible adventures. His narcolepsy, far from being a simple handicap, becomes a source of inspiration for his works and it takes him into situations that are both hilarious and dangerous. The film plays on the boundaries between reality and imagination, offering rich and colorful visual sequences that reflect Gus’ dreams and aspirations.
After NarcoGilles Lellouche will take fourteen years before repeating his experience as a director The Big Bath. A very long break, as the director and actor explained to his Premiere colleagues in the December issue. In fact, in a long interview, Gilles Lellouche confided that he didn’t have fun on the set of Narco.
An “unfriendly” team.
While it will be on the Survival poster on December 6th Suddenly alone together with Mélanie Thierry, Gilles Lellouche is back the painful experience of filming Narcowhich led him to take a long time to get back behind the camera:
The filming went terribly. I was 30 years old, it was my first film, made with my friend Tristan Aurouet. I had a not so friendly team that didn’t have much compassion or patience. And what’s more I was very disappointed with the outcome of the film, a thousand miles from what I had fantasized (…) Narco therefore caused me a slight trauma.
confided Gilles Lellouche.
Fortunately, the great success, with audiences and critics, of his next film, The Big Bathhe reconciled him with directing. He is currently editing his next filmtitled Ugh lovewhich promises to be one of the most anticipated films of 2024. Led by François Civil, Adèle Exarchopoulos and Benoît Poelvoorde, we will have the pleasure of discovering it in theaters on October 16, 2024.
