Kechiche back! The rest of Mektoub My Love finally has a release date
After his presentation in Locarno this summer, Canto Due will soon be visible in the cinema.
More than 7 years later, Abdellatif Kechiche is back in the cinema. We were without news of the director since the controversial projection of Mektoub My Love: Intermezzoat the Cannes Film Festival in 2019, which was deprived of the dining room. But his saga left the front with the selection of Mektoub my love: canto duethis summer at the Locarno festival. The opportunity also to discover the first images and even an extract from the film (see below).
Canto due is the “real” following Mektoub my love: canto unofree adaptation of a novel by François Bégaudeau, The wound the realpresented in 2017 at the Venice Mostra. We find Amin ((Shaïn Boumedine, noticed last year as a companion of François Civil in No waves) Who “goes to Sète after his studies in Paris always dreaming of cinema”, describes the synopsis.
“”Luckily, an American producer on vacation is interested in his project, the essential principles of universal existence, and wants his wife, Jess, heroin. But fate, capricious, imposes its own rules.“”
The characters played by Ophélie Bau, Salim Kechiouche and Hafsia Herzi are also back in the casting. It should be noted that the film, which displays a duration of 2:14, was shot in 2018, two years after Canto Uno. Mektoub my love: canto due was acclaimed by criticism during his presentation in Locarno. And Pathé has just dated his cinema release on December 3.
Ophélie Bau had left the projection ofIntermezzo in Cannes, but she was there at the Swiss festival to defend Canto due (unlike Kechiche). “”I come in peace. Today, I am here to present this film, to attend the screening, to accompany the other actors“She explained to the three-colored site.
“”The reason why I was absent in Cannes in 2019 is the same for which I come today here. I was absent because the final assembly did not respect the contract between Kechiche and me. For canto due, the final assembly respects the contract. On this basis, there was no reason that I did not come“.
