Cinema: what the misses think of the film "Miss"

In a somewhat disrupted context, “Miss” by Ruben Alves, recounting the irresistible rise of a young androgynous (formidable Alexandre Wetter) to the title of Miss France, should initially have been released on October 28.

But the Warner decided at the last moment to advance the call by a week and maintain a private screening on Wednesday evening.

Attended, in addition to the hero of the long acclaimed film, Sylvie Tellier, general manager of the Miss France Society, but also three former winners: Malika Ménard, Miss France 2010, Flora Coquerel (2014) and Maëva Coucke (2018).

A charming quartet that was enchanted by the director's second feature film (“La Cage dorée”).

Nevertheless, the emotion to be plunged back into what was an unforgettable episode of their journey was reflected in all sincerity in their hot reactions.

“It's an important film,” observes Malika Menard who discovered Alexandre Wetter, whose “performance” she admires and what he “transmits through the screen.

The native of Normandy likes it to be the story of "a boy who runs after his dreams".

"It's true", adds Flora Coquerel who does not see, in this company, "that a film on the misses".
