French cinema and fiction are losing one of their most promising faces.

The actress Angèle Metzger, revealed to the general public in the series Chair tender, in 2022, died this Saturday, November 7 at the age of 27.

The body of the actress was found Saturday morning at the foot of the building of the municipal social action center (CCAS) of Pavillons-sous-Bois, in Seine-Saint-Denis. Despite the intervention of emergency services, she could not be resuscitated.

Le Parisien reveals that, according to initial information, the actress had a fatal fall from a staircase or a platform overlooking access to an underground car park. An investigation was entrusted to the Livry-Gargan police station to determine the exact circumstances of his death.

Daughter of actor Stéphane Metzger and director Marie Caldera, Angèle Metzger took her first steps in the cinema in 2017 in Madame Hyde, alongside Isabelle Huppert. With a master’s degree in philosophy and art history, she defined herself as a multidisciplinary artist, whose work crossed “visual arts, performance and games”.

It was in 2022 that she came to the attention of the general public with Flesh Tender, a series created by Yaël Langmann and Jérémy Mainguy, in which she played Sasha, an intersex character. His performance earned him a revelation prize at the Séries Mania festival, where the series was also rewarded. We could then find her in Drone Games, but also in Fotogenico, by Marcia Romano and Benoît Sabatier, presented at ACID during the Cannes Film Festival in 2024.

More recently, Angèle Metzger appeared in the video for “Japan”, a title by the Irish group Fontaines DC, posted online last October. She shared the screen with Charlie Heaton, from Stranger Things.
