.

Divorce club

has indeed gathered only 700,000 spectators, a modest figure for a general public comedy.

"We had taken rewards at Alpe d'Huez. We were on a superb course, it was going to be a hit," said the director.

But Michaël Youn believes that his personal disappointment does not have to be faced with the situation of the country.

"There are 60,000 people who died from Covid-19 in France," he recalls.

"So do I have the right to complain about cinema tickets? No."

"Some people open their mouths a little too much to ask to reopen the cinemas"

He also believes that certain players in the world of culture should take better account of the ever-present health risk.

"I find that some of my comrades are opening their mouths a little too much at the moment to ask to reopen cinemas and theaters", he moans, before calling on his colleagues to be patient.

"I understand their frustration and that of the French who are lacking in social life and culture," he adds.

"But wait, just let it straighten out."

Michaël Youn believes that the time is not for political criticism.

"We have to be united. It's easy to say that the measures are not good and then hide behind an Instagram or Twitter account," he exasperates.
