Michaël Youn will return to directing in 2023 with a comedy, BDE (for Bureau Des Élèves). It is not at the cinema but on the Amazon Prime Video platform that the public will be able to discover this film with Helena Noguerra, Vincent Desagnat, Michèle Laroque or even Lucien Jean-Baptiste.
The story focuses on four friends in their forties who met on the benches of a business school. As a reminder, the former Morning Live presenter graduated from business school before embarking on animation and embracing an artistic career. In 2020, Isabelle Funaro’s husband unveiled Divorce Club, another feature film slightly inspired by his own sentimental life. At the time of the promotion, Michael Youn had told a rather crazy anecdote. While he was on honeymoon in French Polynesia, his sweetheart at the time had to abandon him for “scheduling reasons”. “After two days, the person was called back for the famous casting recallshe remembered on the set of the show I love you etc.on France 2. “I said to him: ‘But we’re on our honeymoon, aren’t you going to leave me, all alone, in Tahiti?'”
The 48-year-old man, who took care not to reveal the identity of this actress, went on to say: “She went to the other side of the world. I can tell you that when you are all alone in Tahiti, surrounded by Asians who are all on their honeymoonyou catch the diving teacher and you say to him: “You are going to become my best friend, I’m not going to leave you””
A story that had amused the set. Not sure that at the time, Michaël Youn wanted to laugh out loud.
