Popular icon for 40 years, Mylène Farmer had a very intense year in 2024, between the resumption of its “Nevermore” tour with three final concerts at the Stade de France, and the presence of Seal to sing “Les mots”, the broadcast of his concert film at the cinema which brought together more than 214,000 spectators (a record!), or the release in stores of the live album, and even the DVD / Blu Ray for the greatest happiness of his fans. As if that wasn't enough, the singer also lent her voice to the film “Bambi, the story of a life in the woods”, and she will even be the AI of the feature film “Dalloway”, directed by Yann Gozlan (“Black Box”), with Cécile de France and Anna Mouglalis. Release planned for 2025!

“She was not available”
But 2024 could have been even crazier for Mylène Farmer… if she had participated in the opening ceremony of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

There you go… So she told me no » slips Thomas Jolly for the first time, thus confirming the rumors around the interpreter of “Oui mais non”, who undoubtedly had to prepare and rehearse assiduously for the kick-off of his three concerts at the Stade de France a month later. The documentary also shows the immense disappointment of the director when he learned of the star's refusal. Despite everything, Mylène Farmer was still present during the big evening, but through the broadcast of a remix of her hit “Désenchantée” during the “Festivities” table. Looking back, Thomas Jolly took stock, on the set of “C l’hebdo”, of this incredible summer: “ Wow! It was big, it was happy above all.
