“Masquerade” is above all the adaptation of one of the books of Nicolas Bedos… never published. A book that he tried in vain to write for 1 year and which “recounted in a very romantic way a rather heartbreaking period of his life, around the age of 23, when he was drowning in idleness and money others”.
A book inspired by scenes experienced but also observed or told. Because Nicolas Bedos needs to feel personally concerned by what he says. He likes to maintain a complicity, however painful, with his characters.
“Masquerade” is therefore the story ofa young gigolo who falls under the spell of a sublime scammer. This is the beginning of a Machiavellian plan under the burning sun of the Côte d’Azur. Are the two lovers ready to do anything to afford a dream life, even if it means sacrificing that of a former glory of cinema and a real estate agent?
Passions, crimes, betrayals… After “Mr. and Mrs. Adelman” and “La Belle Époque”, Nicolas Bedos mocks the cruel world of money king and gives us a new sentimental fresco.
In the cast: Pierre Niney; Marine Vacth, Isabelle Adjani or François Cluzet.
