INTERVIEW
-
🎬✨ Step behind the scenes with our exclusive interview featuring filmmaker Ladj Ly and actors Alexis Manenti and Anta Diaw, as they discuss their compelling film “Les Indésirables” (‘Bâtiment5’). Premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and screening this Thursday at 5pm (Tokyo time) at the Yokohama French Film Festival!
🏙️ In a working-class neighbourhood grappling with change, “Les Indésirables” tells a powerful story of community, resilience, and the struggle for belonging. When Pierre, an idealistic young doctor, takes over as mayor after a sudden tragedy, he faces the challenge of balancing progress with preserving the heart of the community.
Ladj Ly’s direction brings to life a narrative that is both intimate and universal, exploring themes of identity, gentrification, and the power of local action. Anta Diaw and Alexis Manenti’s compelling performances add depth to the rich tapestry.
The films will be released soon in many countries, check Unifrance.org for release dates 🌏✨
