A José Bové larger than life. In “A Matter of Principle”, in theaters Wednesday May 2, Bouli Lanners brings to life the political thriller at the heart of the European Commission. Meeting with the actor and politician.
White mustache and laughing eye, the Belgian actor Bouli Lanners very convincingly plays José Bové, the former trade unionist and MEP in A matter of principle. A gripping political thriller, based on a true story. According to José Bové, they both share a “commitment” for ecology. “He is very well known in Belgium for that”underlines the former MEP. “If I am hired, it’s because when I was little, I was fed the stories of José Bové”assures Bouli Lanners in turn.
Take an interest in European institutions
The life and political work of José Bové unfolds in this thriller, one thing “implausible” according to him. The actor says he was seduced by the idea of shooting a film in the European Parliament. “I became interested in European institutions, which everyone should do”adds Bouli Lanners.
