"We decided that Gabrielle's depression would sometimes not be seen, because it is often shameful to be depressed," says the actress on Europe 1 . Her character constantly surprises by her mood swings that make this mom go from laughter to tears in the twinkling of an eye.
Mother and son in turmoil
Faced with the actress, who is always astonishingly close, we can recognize Sandor Funtek, discovered in The Last Parisians by Ekoué and Hamé who produced K Contraire under the label of their group La Rumeur. The head to head between the two actors, mother and son fused and antagonistic in the film, are impressive. "She is both a woman who hides when she is in public and who spins when she is alone or in front of her son," specifies Sandrine Bonnaire.
