FILM – The parents of the more oddball French film back in the cinemas. This Wednesday, December 7, the fiery duo formed by Marina Foïs and Laurent Lafitte is waiting for you in “Mom or Dad 2″, more in shape than ever.
The first part had, in 2015, obtained the 14th place at the box-office French language, making this comedy about the divorce of a couple, a real national success. Nearly three million spectators had come to the meeting of the family Leroy, placing the film in front of blockbusters international as “Alone on Mars”, “Mad Max: Fury Road”, or the last James Bond movie, “Spectre”.
But lurking behind this story hilarious? “Mom and dad” is the work of a director of 37 years, unknown: Martin Bourboulon. The two films are the first two feature films of the filmmaker… the One that his players call it “Bourboulon” has agreed to reveal to HuffPost, to tell us more about his saga and his journey.
Those who had worshipped the divorce from hell, Florence and Vincent, who, for better reach, had taken to their children, should laugh in front of the suite. Two years after, and a baby of more, we feel very quickly that this divorce is not as peaceful as it seems. The animosity is still present and the fight resumes, still funny.
This recipe, the original, is that of Guillaume Clicquot de Mentque. “On the first, it is Guillaume who told me this story,” said director Martin Bourboulon with the HuffPost. I quickly had a vision for this film. I said, ‘there is a concept of comedy is very strong but I also want to tell a story of a couple. Tell the story of how this couple, who is going to start a war a little bit crazy, will regain, recover. It was a war between them. I didn’t want to be wicked parents who attack their children. There was a birth of romantic comedy that we wanted to deal with. On the end Matthieu Delaporte, Alexandre de la Patellière, the writers are involved”, he explains.
The baby of a team of shock
When came the desire of a sequel, the same team has found its two main actors and is engaged in the adventure. “Very naturally on the second film we wanted to revisit this couple,” recalls the filmmaker. This creation, “the mix of five brains, five sensitivities” as called Marina Foïs is a true team effort.
“The process is particular because Marina and Laurent participated in the writing of the scenario. On this second film, they have rebounded a lot on the structure. They have a huge talent to find dialogues, situations. It was a very spontaneous,” says the one who has led the duo of actor.
If Marina Foïs and Laurent Lafitte are well known to the public, the other three people, key to the success of this film, are less so. Yet Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de la Patellière are not in their first scenario. The duo of author works from the beginning of the years 2000. They must, in particular, the play “The Name” that they themselves have adapted to the cinema with Patrick Bruel & Valérie Benguigui, among other things.
A filmmaker accustomed to the humor
Despite a CV bit is completed (including on Allociné), Martin Bourboulon does not discover the cinema today! Son of the producer Frédéric Bourboulon, we can say that he has bathed in it from the cradle. Moreover, when asked naively that he is, he begins by giving us its age, then we report the occupation of his father.
the Young it is launched in this area as a second assistant director, and then he learns to turn on the tv shows. The twenty reached he made his first short film “Bad luck”. Four years later, in 2007, Martin Bourboulon joins the team of the “Guignols de info” for which he has written nearly 150 sketches. We can better understand the black humour and the situation comedy “Dad or Mom”… In parallel, he has directed numerous commercials. “And then in 2010, Dimitri Rassam was proposed to me the topic of “mother or father””, he recalls.
A successful project that seems to have launched this man 37-year-old on the way to the cinema for good. When we mention the possibility of a third component, the idea makes him smile, but he would prefer to “launch in a new comedy, a new “coup de coeur”. A new project with Marina Foïs and Laurent Lafitte? Mystery. But the actress says, “everything is possible on a plateau with Bourboulon and the two of us”…
