A spectator like no other was at the Grand Rex…
This Thursday, November 7, 2024, in more than 500 cinemas, from Australia to Mexico via Belgium, Canada, France and other countries, fans were able to discover a preview and exclusive Nevermore Le Film.
The screening was preceded for twenty minutes by the broadcast of some new animated images with, of course, crows.
To raise the mood, Feder's remixes of
Disenchanted
etOptimistic me then that of
Sextonik by Tomer G (excerpts from the album Remix
XL of 2024) were played.
A countdown was also ticking on the screen: “the film in 20 minutes”, “in 15 minutes”, “in 10 minutes”, “in 5 minutes”.
At the Grand Rex, a huge surprise awaited the public present.
While the interlude Ode to weightlessness was playing on the screen (about 3/4 of the way through the film), the audience started shouting: “Mylène”.
Then, a spectator joked: “Mylène, where are you?”
A few seconds later, we could see on the left side of the room, at the level of the first balcony, in a dressing room, the silhouette of Mylène who waved for a long time. The darkness prevented us from seeing her clearly, but there was no doubt: it was Mylène!
The entire audience then stood up, screamed and applauded. An incredible moment.
The Grand Rex video:
The atmosphere at the Grand Rex was great. The audience sang the biggest hits like It's a beautiful day or XXL.
Much of it danced on Yes but… No and for Disenchantedthe whole room was on its feet to sing this inter or multi-generational anthem in unison.
Mylène left Le Grand Rex a little before the end of the film. In 2019, on November 7, she was already at the Grand Rex for Live 2019 The Moviebut his presence had been even more discreet since we only learned of it the next day.

And you, what did you think of Nevermore Le Film ?
“Exit the aesthetic side of the Arena and the endless close-ups of Mylene.
Far from the immense mass full of communion and immeasurable emotion that was the Stade de France in 2009 and which was completely perfectible in the film… it is with immense joy that I come out of this Nevermore
2023 : lightness, joy of living, immense pleasure in seeing Mylene give as much as she receives, whether with her dancers, musicians, or the public.
MYLENE is happy, authentic.
As for the image and work of our dear François… finally a place given to musicians and dancers as it should be. Goodbye to overly jerky plans. Magnificent shots with the Drones.
Perhaps one of the rare concerts where the audience is little highlighted and that's not bad… a few useless shots and missed certain details (zoom on the inside of a mask. Zoom on the top of reaper, zoom on Mylene's seat belt on the reaper platform…)
Finally…. what a joy to see the images of the clip again on Ode to weightlessness.
In short, in my eyes and my ears (version a little different from the album version) a real success. We thought that More was going to appear in the credits. We believed it… but no! And that's okay.
My only downside will remain the choice of
XXL.
Remember the daywould have found a place of choice there.” (Jean-David)
“I really liked this recording, I find it more successful than Hanss' previous films.
Not too many shots of the audience during the show itself, a few furtive faces during Sans Contrefaçon and Désenchantée and that's about it.
I didn't notice any blurry shots unlike some, but I also don't have the vision of my 20s so maybe.
Breathtaking and extravagant show, faithfully rendered on screen: sets, lights, projections, costumes etc?, what a richness!
We see the musicians a lot, whereas when we see the show in real life we can barely distinguish them, they are not highlighted, the film does them justice.
It's sometimes hypnotic but I think that's the difficulty of filming such a show from several angles (incidentally, very good idea to place cameras at the back of the stage facing the audience).
And Mylène is divine.” (Get up boy)
“It was magnificent and then we saw all the sets, the choreography and almost no people from the audience, a first which is much better, the feeling of reliving my concerts.” (**Sélénia 1502**)
“Incredible film! Magnificent, WIDE shots, the moment dedicated to the dancers was exceptional!!! I saw lots of things that we couldn't see at SdF and I'm THRILLED. Superb film! No shots too fast , we have time to contemplate.” (Momentum)
“A great moment, the audio is different on certain titles compared to the CD; I really enjoyed it; I noticed some blurring mainly when on That I becomethe focus was on the structure of the reaper so Mylène is blurry on her platform but immediately shown in hyper-clear close-up so it didn't bother me; I really loved this recording; thank you Mr Hanss!” (homEric)
“Thank you Mylène for this timeless moment.” (Purplebird)
“Personally: I loved the film, finally wide shots, and the dancers and musicians highlighted. Shots on the spectators especially at the beginning, and whenever necessary, without spoiling the songs. Great sound, beautiful images. Room almost full On the other hand, in my room 0 atmosphere, it's not for lack of trying all the same, a great experience all the same, even if it has nothing to do with the emotion of seeing it 10 meters away on stage….” (Psychelau)
“Great film of the concert. Kinepolis Amnéville full house.” (Nobodyknows573)
“Superb film. I just came out of it at Reunion… a magical moment faithful to the concerts with highlighted details that we couldn't always see at the concerts. Mylene as lovely as ever. It went by too quickly.. .” (amento)
“The crows that bump into the screen I didn't understand during the concert, it made me laugh this evening. After definitely deflating at the very beginning, they knock themselves out. She's having fun with her fetish animals. I still wonder how F. Hanss managed to screw up Glenn Marshall's interlude, why did you change shots 1001 times something that would have supported the fixed shot very well? Very difficult to follow when you change your point of view all the time. In short, the false connections with the medallion sometimes above and sometimes below the pendant ????
The choreographies and the dancers are well in the spotlight, better than on the small screens in the stadium, the same goes for the close-ups on the musical instruments and the musicians.
I had a good time notwithstanding the irruption into my thoughts of the result of the American elections on the words “which could prevent me from hearing everything when reason collapses”…
The Orléans audience is calm and placid as always, intergenerational and family-friendly. Many people who discovered Mylène's work were interested in knowing more.
The sound too loud as always at the cinema and I do not thank my neighbors in the 1st row (surely great readers of Mylène.net because one of the two was so knowledgeable) for having commented on everything while trying to speak louder than the sound of the film.” (Acheron)
“This film honored the aesthetics of the show, Mylène is radiant, this recording sometimes makes it more natural than the previous shows; The images are magnificent; A pleasure to see more of the musicians too.
However, he could not remove the weaknesses of this tour, lengths, an endless intro,; a sequence of rather disparate titles; a certain lack of substance, of substance which is hidden behind impressive effects and decorations,
I'll give it a 3/5.” (Bastien)
“Too many emotions leaving the cinema, I felt like I was reliving my day in Lyon, the fact of knowing that we were there that we were part of the film is quite moving for any fan of Mylène, I so loved the slow motions on the bridge during Maybe you,Optimistic me which is magnificent in the film, the atmosphere on Disenchantedall the crazy atmosphere that there was in Lyon is well transcribed during the film. It was magnificent! Mylène we love you!”
“The best film in my opinion.”
“I loved the film. I saw it in Switzerland. I found it better than the 2019 film where I found the visuals and close-ups lacking.
It was cool to see drone footage too.”
“I come out…a marvel
Beautiful Mylene
Dancers, musicians, costumes highlighted
Hat!
For the blurs…artistic perhaps?
Certainly !”
“What a magnificent concert!! Very good recording. I am still captivated by the painting of How beautiful the dawn is. All the detail work done on this tour is fascinating. Well done to all of you. I am so happy to live in the same era as Mrs. Mylène Farmer.”
