On Friday January 17 at 9:10 p.m., Canal + broadcasts We, the Leroys. A special comedy which takes place in places dear to its director…
Road trip touchant, We, the Leroys arrived in cinemas in 2024. Already, it is being shown on television via Canal +, this Friday, from 9:10 p.m. Directed by Florent Bernard, this comedy far from clichés is based on the young Lili Aubry and Hadrien Heaulmé, but also on Charlotte Gainsbourg and José Garcia. A family who will notably encounter comedians Baptiste Lecaplain, Jérôme Niel, Sophie-Marie Larrouy and Benjamin Tranié on their route. A route designed through very specific filming locations…
-We, the Leroys : a couple in crisis for a last chance road trip
We, the Leroys takes us into the daily life of a couple in crisis, that of Sandrine and Christophe. After meeting in high school in 1996, they saw their lives unfold without leaving their boxes. Moving into an apartment, buying a house, having two children… Today, the cup is full for Sandrine, not really thrilled by routine and neglected by a husband who is very busy with his work. When she tells him she wants to end their relationship, Christophe will do everything to surprise her, and set up a weekend in the footsteps of their story, in the company of their son and daughter.
We, the Leroys : a film shot in the director’s region
This real last chance weekend, Florent Bernard chose to materialize it in Burgundy. Thus, embarked on the Leroys’ road trip, viewers will cross Dijon, but also the Gevrey-Chambertin motorway area. Filming locations that owe nothing to chance, as the director confided in the press kit for his film: “Filming at home was important, but I also wanted to highlight the regions of France, the settings of the people which are not necessarily postcards, to show the roundabouts, the Buffalo Grill, the shabby hotels, the commercial areas where everything is horizontal like in a western. I find that it can have a lot of poetry (…) In a way it’s a way of telling lovely memories of youth when we spent our time being bored in these parking lots. I have fond memories of it.”
