On May 1st, Artus’ film was released in theaters A little something extra that the actor realizes. He directs actors with mental disabilities and himself plays a thug who has just robbed a bank with the help of his accomplice played by Clovis Cornillac. While the two thugs try to escape the police, they find refuge among a group of disabled adults who are preparing to go on vacation. The character Artus pretends to also have a disability before being unmasked. This comedy also features Alice Belaïdi, Marc Riso and Céline Groussard in the cast as well as around ten disabled amateur actors. With more than 2.1 million admissions in two weeks, the film is a success and has even surpassed the blockbuster The Planet of the Apes.
A little something extra at Cannes
Guest on France Inter on May 11, Artus explained his desire to take the actors of the film to Cannes: “It would be really great if they took the steps, I’ve been struggling with production for months. Some influencers have ridden them several times and we haven’t.” Legitimized by the success of the film, Artus is preparing to take his troupe on the red carpet. The only downside is the refusal of major brands to lend costumes to the actors in the film. The latter still commented on France Inter: “it’s always more elegant for a brand to dress Brad Pitt than dressing actors with disabilities” he concluded, bitterly.
