Erasing History

While the irresistible comedy of the duo Kervern / Delépine is a (deserved) success in the cinema, the producer indulges in a passion to which she rarely has time to devote herself: seeing films on the big screen.

"I really enjoy the relief of the excellent results of

Clear History

."

she admits to

20 Minutes

.

We hesitated for a long time to release the film on August 26th but when we found out that

Tenet

kept this date, we sighed with relief!

Being leaned against this locomotive could only serve the film.

A hole in the pennies

Sylvie Pialat has therefore found a smile again, after sacred moments of anguish because the pandemic has dealt a severe blow to film professionals.

“We are not the most to be pitied but everything stopped suddenly.

It's complicated for small structures like ours which are not world treasury champions.

It is as if you do not receive your salary for a month: a hole appears!

"The hole is being filled with the results of

Erase History,

which has exceeded 300,000 spectators and is now aiming for double.

"Boys, as I call Gustave Kervern and Bruno Delépine know how to talk to people who meet in their cinema," says Sylvie Pialat.

new film, and the Deauville competition, the producer has plenty to take care of.

"I love all American cinemas, even

Rambo

and

Predator,

A dream family

By tasting the eight films submitted for the competition Sylvie Pialat got to know Bruno Podalydès who is also part of the jury.

“I had already worked with her brother Denis and it confirmed to me that I would have dreamed of being the sister of the Podalydès brothers,” she jokes.

We would have had a great time!

»She already seems to be spending sunny moments in Deauville where very full rooms give a smile.
