The film can be seen this Monday at 8:55 p.m. on La Une.
Alex, a singer whose career is struggling to take off, accepts a strange job: making retirees sing nursery rhymes. She discovers a group of seniors with strong character: what they want is to rock! The first feature film by Ida Techer and Luc Bricault, based on the true story of the Salt and Pepper choir, created in Dunkirk in 2010. With Mathilde Seigner, Bernard Le Coq, Anne Benoît and Andréa Ferréol.
What do we think of these septuagenarians who want to sing rock?
They love this music which connects them much more than the nonsense that we ask them to perform. They were raised with (…). At 70, they want to show that they still have the edge. And having worked with people from the choir like the actors in the film, I can confirm it to you: they have it!
You have rarely toured with so many older partners…
With them, the show was as much on the set as in the hotel where we were staying. It was joyful, lively, very lively. They are strong personalities, with great characters! I had a blast with them: Andréa Ferréol, crazy, beautiful, with boundless energy, Bernard Le Coq, always up for it. It must be said that this whole gang experienced the 1970s: they don't censor themselves, they don't deprive themselves, they are extraordinarily alive!
