“Second tour”, the latest film by Albert Dupontel, was released in theaters on Wednesday October 25. The director tells the story of a hotheaded journalist who covers the campaign of a presidential candidate.
A preview of an Albert Dupontel film, it’s a must-see for fans, always impatient to dive back into the director’s world. “A somewhat allegorical universe is often dreamlike”, describes a spectator. In Second Round, Cécile de France plays a hotheaded journalist. She is asked to cover the campaign of a candidate she finds suspicious. “Albert writes so that his actors can rejoice. So with this character, a real comic book heroine, a little zany, I was really able to rejoice”confides the actress.
The value of political speech
Albert Dupontel, author, director and actor, is omnipresent. In this film, he portrays himself as an unorthodox presidential candidate, wearing a very “proper” costume. The film addresses freedom of the press, ecology and even the value of political speech, with a humor that Dupontel never deviates from.
