In Nicolas Vanier’s new film, ”It’s the World Upside Down”, Michaël Youn and Barbara Schulz play a couple of Parisians who, fleeing a climate and financial crisis, find themselves living together in the countryside with a peasant family.

The subject of the film was very close to the heart of Nicolas Vanier, the director, who is very committed to defending the environment. “We are not going to change the world with this film», recognizes Michaël Youn. But he said, “what is certain is that it is a popular, family comedy. And it’s not because it’s a comedy that we can’t get the message across ».

Nicolas Vanier chose an “eco-shoot”, says Barbara Schulz: “That means dry toilets, electric cars, local canteen, short circuit. No generator, solar panel for the projectors. LED for lighting. Second hand clothes. Organic products for everything related to makeup, decoration, painting, etc. » « And in fact, there was nothing annoying, nothing difficult, nothing negative, and we missed nothing», specifies Michaël Youn, himself a director, who intends to adopt certain tips for his own filming.

And our actors, what is their relationship to the car? “I live in the south of », says Michaël Youn, “so we still take the car a lot to go from point A to point B. I have 2 cars: a gasoline one and an electric one for short trips. That said, I’m not an exceptional driver because I no longer have points on my license… ». « I’m a bit of a pilot», recognizes Barbara Schulz: “I love it, on set, when sometimes you have to do spins, tricks, starts, I like it! »

On the bill alongside Barbara Schulz and Michaël Youn, we find Valérie Bonneton, Éric Elmosnino, François Berléand, and Yannick Noah. ”It’s the world turned upside down” can be discovered from October 16.
