A highly anticipated film… Tuesday May 21, 2024, Chiara Mastroianni and all the stars of the film Marcello Mio have climbed the steps of the Cannes Film Festival. As a reminder, in this one, the daughter of Catherine Deneuve and Marcello Mastroianni tells herself that she should live her father’s life. “She now dresses like him, speaks like him, breathes like him and she does it with such force that others around her end up believing it and start calling him Marcello”can we read on Allociné.
Wednesday May 22, 2024, on France Culture, the film critic and teacher, Adrien Dénouette estimated: “We are witnessing a kind of inter-self which reaches incredible heights of inbreeding in French cinema”before adding: “We see them cavorting so much, banding together, completely excluding us, that we only want one thing: the memory of this world no longer exists”.
Adrien Dénouette: “Grotesque and comic”
To conclude, the film critic added: “We are in something super incestuous who doesn’t speak to anyone and who becomes grotesque and comical, from the very fact that he doesn’t know where he’s going.”. In the film, Chiara Mastroianni is surrounded by her mother, Catherine Deneuve, her ex-boyfriend, Melvil Poupaud, her ex-husband, Benjamin Biolay,
Annoyed, Benjamin Biolay spoke on Wednesday May 22, 2024, via his Instagram account. “Be quiet my ass, this is a troupe. Other than that, this festival, with this film where I was surrounded by people I love and admire was wonderful. Chiara is extraordinary there. She plays in three languages, portrays two characters and infuses an infinite grace similar to light. Thank you to all the partners for this unforgettable moment. Congratulations to Christophe Honoré the maestro”he shared.
Benjamin Biolay received a wave of support
Quickly, the singer and actor received support from Internet users. “Ah the famous ‘between oneself’ tirelessly denounced by embittered people, certainly envious deep down but without admitting it, who themselves by saying this are being among themselves. While, in reality, Everything looks perfect in this project. Because there is a lot there, just on paper. Already paying tribute to the immense Marcello, it’s great! Making this artist known to younger generations is great!”wrote an Internet user.
A fan shared: “This film is full of tenderness and grace with very fine moments of humor. Chiara is masterful!”. Another added: “Catherine, Chiara and you Benjamin, it’s a joy to see you brought together to retrace the life of Marcello, a sublime actor. This kind of in-betweenness, I love“.
