At the time, everything about his career as a director (Bad Pass And Kiss whoever you want), Michel Blanc actor had kept a low profile for ten years. Thanks to this romantic film, he returned to the top of the bill with this role of a farmer in search of a soul mate. Love is in the meadow before its time!
“The same public phenomenon happened with this film as with In the name of the earth, he confided in 2019 within his film commented For First. I didn’t imagine for a moment that we would end up with 3 million admissions when I read the script. I wanted this film because Isabelle offered me a role that was usually offered to Jugnot! Much more sentimental than I usually am. I was a little afraid of breaking my nose, but I accepted to broaden my range of games. It was during the promotional tour in the provinces that we felt that something was happening! I even received the Order of Agricultural Merit. Initially, I declined because I found it indecent towards farmers. Until it was explained to me that it was they who insisted on thanking us for showing their loneliness, their financial and emotional difficulties in the cinema. At a time when few were doing it.”
The story of I find you very handsome? Aymé Pigrenet has just lost his wife. He’s not sad, he’s just devastated by the work he’s going to have to do alone on the farm. Very quickly, he will make a decision: he sets out to conquer a new wife. Finally, a new employee…
I find you very beautiful was Isabelle Mergault’s first film. Crowned with success, it attracted more than 3.5 million spectators in France and won the César for Best First Film. First advises you:
“Actress and TV star, Isabelle Mergault signs a first film with boulevardier accents which exploits the well-worn theme of mood incompatibilities. (…) In addition to undeniable qualities as an author, Mergault found the ideal interpreter in Michel Blanc. (…) The rarity of his appearances on screen alone justifies the trip.”
