• The confidences of characters at the crossroads of their sentimental lives give all its evocative power to the film "The Things We Say, The Things We Do".

• Camélia Jordana, Niels Schneider, Vincent Macaigne and Emilie Dequenne are amazing there.

Never Emmanuel Mouret had been as fair nor as serious as to explore the relationships of the characters in his latest film,

.

The confidences that a young pregnant woman and her companion's cousin exchange will turn their lives upside down.

Camélia Jordana, Emilie Dequenne, Niels Schneider and Vincent Macaigne survey the Carte du Tendre in this brilliantly written and finely crafted story.

.

I think there can be a real flavor for the viewer to witness the gap between commitments and reality.

The lives we can't live

“You can't take all the paths at once,” says one of the film's protagonists.

All of them will find themselves at the crossroads of their existence and their loves when unexpected encounters sweep away their certainties.

"The heart is large and can embrace a lot but it is impossible to live everything", insists Emmanuel Mouret.

Sometimes funny or cruel - or even both at the same time - this philosophical tale allows the director of

to probe the human soul even more deeply in its contradictions.

Love in the singular

Even if we have not experienced similar ones, Emmanuel Mouret makes the questions of his protagonists poignant.

"It is characteristic of cinema and art to take an interest in particular cases in order to try to make them universal," insists the filmmaker.

In our privacy, we all consider ourselves unique, but we find ourselves faced with certain problems.

“No one is immune to a meeting made all the more painful when you believe you are firmly committed with your partner.

Cannes without Croisette

The Cannes label that accompanies the release of his film is important for Emmanuel Mouret.

“It's a guarantee of quality a bit like the Label Rouge on a chicken,” he explains.

I hope this will attract audiences to theaters.

The public reactions to the previews are promising.

“When someone whispers a thank you with a knowing smile, I have the comforting impression of having been understood,” he admits.
