(ANSA) - CANNES, JUL 13 - Louis Garrel is one of the most eclectic and complete French actors of his generation. In front of the camera since he was a child, he has starred in dozens of films from Bertolucci's The Dreamers to Les Amants Reguliers directed by his father Philippe to Le Redoutable, Michel Hazanavicius' film on Godard, natural for him to devote himself to directing as well. La Croisade, The Crusade, is his new film, ilterzo. To see him at the premiere there were also Nanni Moretti and Alba Rohrwacher. "It is a funny and fascinating but urgent story - he says - about the bourgeoisization of adults, about ex-young people who have lost revolutionary impetus, especially in front of the concerns of young people who want to save the planet and the future". In other words it is the so-called Greta Generation protagonist of the film,the very young who are busy thinking big about healing the Earth while their parents are indifferent in comfortable homes.
"It was written by the great screenwriter Jean-ClaudeCarriere, a friend," continues Garrel, recalling his disappearance last February. The film also reunites him in front of the camera with Laetitia Casta, the actress he married in 2017 and of whom Azel was born in March. The beautiful couple delighted photographers by climbing the Montée desMarches together. The actor is also at the festival with The story of my wifedirected by the Hungarian Ildikó Enyedi, competing for the Palmad'oro. And it will also be seen at the Venice Film Festival as it seems that L'ombra di Caravaggio will be selected, the film by Michele Placido with Riccardo Scamarcio in the main role, Garrel in the title role (the shadow) and then Isabelle Huppert, Micaela Ramazzotti, Vinicio Marchioni. But that's not all: Garrelsta to go to the set in Normandy,male protagonist of the new film by Pietro Marcello L'Envol which will follow "the emancipation of a woman in the space of twenty years, between 1919 and 1939, in a period of great inventions and great dreams" with Juliette Louan and Noemi Lvovsky. And he will be the king of France Louis XIII in the new series on the Three Musketeers that Martin Bourboulon is preparing. (HANDLE).
