In his latest film, Cédric Klapisch tells us about the journey of Élise Gautier, a dancer who is injured during a performance and will have to go deep within herself, and through encounters, to try to rebuild.
The limelight, Marion Barbeau knows them well. First dancer at the Paris Opera, she secretly dreamed of making movies. You didn’t have to be superstitious to accept this mirror role, that of a dancer who is seriously injured. On the roof of the Châtelet theater in Paris, one of the filming locations, the 19/20 asked her if she was prepared for this risk. “If we really get hurt and we are told the next day that we can’t dance anymore, I don’t think anyone is prepared for that. My colleagues and I are not afraid of it, we try to prevent the injury “she explains.
By seeking her way, she will find the path of other dancers. The film explores its renaissance and highlights all types of dance: contemporary, hip-hop and of course classical dance. “A lot of viewers don’t know they liket the dance. (…) I try to have a popular side of a world that is poorly known to me”, says Cédric Klapisch, the director of “En corps”. A five-star cast, a lot of humor and lightness: so many reasons to run to see this film.
