Walked away with two prizes two years ago, Arnaud Ducret is back at Alpe d’Huez Festival, 2022 edition! Wednesday, January 19, the actor made a remarkable arrival in Isère for the youth day. It must be said that he is now a figure of the Festival: in 2020, he left with two prizes for films Casually and Divorce club, before seeing his new comedy, Tender and rare (released on January 19), selected in 2021.
Despite a third day of competition overshadowed by the death of Gaspard Ulliel, Arnaud Ducret still warmed the hearts of the festival-goers by happily posing in front of the photographers, before the evening screening. The 43-year-old actor was accompanied for the occasion by his wife, pole dance expert Claire Francisci, who joined him on the photocall for a couple of photos. Earlier in the day, the couple – married since last summer – had enjoyed a snowmobile trip on the sunny slopes of the resort. He was also able to meet Gérard Jugnot, Artus, Jérôme Commandeur and even Pascale Arbillot, who were also present at the Festival on Wednesday.
Released in theaters this January 19, the comedy Tender and rare not only features Arnaud Ducret, but also Géraldine Pailhas, Alison Wheeler and Stéphane de Groodt. The film portrays Charly, editor-in-chief of a fashion magazine, who inherits the family butcher’s shop. As she prepares to sell it, she meets Martial, her father’s artisan butcher (played by Arnaud Ducret), who is determined to fight to save the business. Seduced in spite of herself by the charisma of Martial, Charly could be led to change her mind…
Failing to have been screened at the Alpe d’Huez Festival last year, since the 2021 edition was canceled for health reasons, the film nevertheless received a label created especially for this particular year. This comedy event that has become unmissable is indeed back in the mountains: meet on Saturday 22 January to find out the big winners of this 25th edition.
