There is a lot of talk about her at the moment because of the controversies that oppose her to her brothers Anthony and Alain-Fabien. But this Wednesday, it's at the cinema that we find Anouchka Delon. With "Le Voyage en pyjama" by Pascal Thomas, the 33-year-old actress has her first real film role. And she is fair and delightful, with her sunny smile and her mischievous eyes that give her a singular look. The film begins with this sentence, which is inscribed on the screen: "That summer, Paul-Émile dit Victor wanted to know what was left of his youth."
"Le Voyage en pyjama" features Victor, so, in his forties, a high school literature teacher and amateur forecaster at Météo France who decides to take a sabbatical. When Anne, his partner of fifteen years, goes on a business trip with her lover, he decides to cast off and fly away... on a bicycle, with the wife of his wife's lover (played by Anouchka Delon), who suggests that he go to Compostela.
But what Victor is looking for are the back roads. So he quickly packs his trunk and meets, in turn, a pretty traveler without a ticket, an ex who is still in love, a couple of girls who want to "use" him to have a child... "You have to let yourself be carried along like a cork," he says. And Victor lets himself be carried away, in his pajamas because "pyjamas are the uniform for sleeping in. And life has to be a long lie-in. »

This timeless, almost dreamlike puppetry is pleasant and we meet a parade of tasty actors (Irène Jacob, Pierre Arditi, Anny Duperey, Barbara Schulz, Lolita Chammah...) We mess around with love.
