Surprise: appearing in January in the series “Cristobal Balenciaga”, on Disney +, and soon appearing in “Hors du temps”, the next film by Olivier Assayas, Nine d'Urso will play Aurore Dupin, a young woman who runs away Nohant (Indre) and her husband's violence in 1831 to settle in Paris where she led a bohemian life, before publishing her first novel under the pseudonym George Sand.
The daughter of model and fashion designer Ines de la Fressange will play the role of singer Barbara Pravi, seen last September in the TV film “Adieu Vinyle”, who will play her lover.
According to our information, Vincent Londez (“Lupin”), Megan Northam (“Greek Salad”), David Kammenos (“All this, I will give it to you”) and Jonathan Turnbull (“Sambre”) are also in the cast.
Planned for France 2, this fiction produced by Siècle Productions will focus on the highlights of the career of George Sand, the first French woman to make a living from her writings.
Her successes, but also the scandals which surrounded this feminist before her time, a great lover with many lovers, quick to defend the equality of the sexes and to oppose the oppression of which women are victims.
