In full promotion of next film by Quentin Dupieux The second actLéa Seydoux and Louis Garrel were, this Monday, May 6, 2024, the guests of Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine on the set of It’s up to you. The opportunity for the two actors to talk about a film in which they played, but which they were not allowed to watch.
“ Haven’t seen it yet?“, the host was surprised. To which the 38-year-old actress replied: “ No, but you do! » Indeed, the filmmaker prohibited his actors (Léa Seydoux, Louis Garrel, Raphaël Quenard and Vincent Lindon) from viewing the feature film, but also from promoting it, “ so as not to paraphrase what is said in the film“.
“ Quentin Dupieux made a note that he sent to journalists telling them that he was going refuse any promotional interview because everything is said in his film“, then clarified Bertrand Chameroy’s sidekick.
“He makes fun all the time”
Intrigued, Louis Garrel, who plays David in The second act, nevertheless sought to find out more by questioning Patrick Cohen on the image that the film conveys of the actors. Unfortunately, the columnist did not let himself be fooled and far from spilling the beans, he preferred to keep the information to himself. “ We will tell you later“, he simply retorted, much to the actor’s dismay.
For her part, Anne-Elisabeth Lemoine did not fail to add that the actors were “ quite unbearable! » « He (Quentin Dupieux, editor’s note) is both very cynical, he makes fun all the time(…) he makes fun of everything, including us. I’m not fooled, he makes fun of me, of Vincent, of Léa, of Raphaël but it’s not morbid“, concluded the husband of Laetitia Casta.
In any case, one thing is certain, it is that Quentin Dupieux’s desire to want to preserve his film only arouses the curiosity of moviegoers. See you next May 14 in theaters to learn more!
