Gilles Lellouche didn’t know where to stand when Adèle Exarchopoulos sang his praises on the set of Quelle époque! on October 12.
Six years later The Great BathGilles Lellouche goes behind the camera a second time.
His new film, Love phew, in theaters on October 16, is the adaptation of the eponymous novel by Irish author Neville Thompson. The action of the book, located in Dublin, is transposed to the screen in the north of France from the 1980s.
