THE FILM:
Le Grand Bain
, get up and swim!
Bathing brief and latex cap on the head, they bared them in every sense of the word, Mathieu Amalric (Bertrand), Guillaume Canet (Laurent), Benoît Poelvoorde (Marcus), Jean-Hugues Anglade (Simon), Alban Ivanov (Basile) and Philippe Katerine (Thierry) are not proud.
They have belly, hair and problems do you want it, here it is.
The drawn features and the weary and wandering soul.
Nothing is going well for these broken men from the inside who no longer believe in much.
“Everything I touch turns into failure,”
Marcus sighs.
Its partners make the same bitter observation.
By diving into

The idea was to show
"a troop of more or less disenchanted men who run after fallen dreams"
, explained Gilles Lellouche, the director who co-signed at the time.
