Tonight on TV: this sequel to Barbecue was born almost from a joke by one of the actors

Plancha : friends of Barbecue discover Brittany

Published in October 2022, Plancha marks the return of the team Barbecue (2014)released eight years earlier. Directed by Éric Lavaine, the comedy features most of the characters from the first film. A group of friends played by Lambert Wilson, Franck Dubosc, Jérôme Commandeur, Guillaume de Tonquédec, Sophie Duez, Valérie Crouzet and Lionel Abelanski. And if in Barbecue Florence Foresti stood out for his lightness, this time it is his absence that draws attention. The comedian is the only one who has not reprised her role for Plancha due to diary incompatibilities. Instead, Caroline Anglade joins the gang in the role of Ana.

In the film, friends gather together to celebrate Yves’s fiftieth birthday (Guillaume de Tonquédec). They wanted to go to Greece, but their flight was cancelled and they decided to do it fall back on Brittanyin Yves’ family villa. A different atmosphere, especially when the party starts to rain, and the birthday becomes the center of revelations.

Barbecue was a huge hit in theaters with 1.6 million viewers. In a period still marked by the pandemic, Plancha did not get the same score as its predecessor and failed to accumulate that 544,000 voices. And if the first film had already had a rather negative reception from the press, this second work was even less so, with an average of 2.1/5 out of Assigned. TV for leisure time he wrote for example in his review: “It’s raining, and the guests end up finding it long… The same problem can arise for the spectator“.

Guillaume de Tonquédec announced the sequel eight years in advance

Originally, Barbecue should not have followed up. However, during the promotion of the film, Guillaume de Tonquédec he was being ironic about the title and already unconsciously announced that of the next work. Éric Lavaine recalled it in the press kit de Plancha, explaining with humor:

During a promotional tour of the barbecue, Guillaume concluded his speeches with a “After the barbecue, we will meet for the rest, Plancha, at the seaside, and finally for the pierrade in the mountains!” “. Now Guillaume wants us to prepare for this awake winter in Thailand.

Not at the moment. Pierrade in the mountains or I woke up in Thailand, but Planchawhich should first call yourself 100% Brittany. The fact remains that the director took a while to accept the idea of ​​making a sequel. Although at first he did not want to connect the two films, in the end he decided otherwise, taking advantage of the his personal interest in the region.

They are the same, seven years later, only this time they are not in the Cévennes but in Brittany. Two regions that are dear to me.
