Breakups are not all synonymous with fist. Romane Bohringer, who has been in a relationship with actor and screenwriter Philippe Rebbot for years, still lives with him, in harmony, under the same roof … or almost. Parents of a daughter and a son, Rose, 13 and Raoul, 10, the two exs actually reorganized their lives, in 2018, around what they call a separate: two separate dwellings, located in Montreuil , in Seine-Saint-Denis, which are connected by the children’s bedrooms. This unprecedented situation had even inspired the story of the film. Blurry Love, produced by the mother of the family.
We have to believe that this feature film has won over more than one … since the Bohringer-Rebbot clan will be back soon. After the big screen, the small one. At the request of the original Canal + creation team, Blurry Love has been produced in series, with the same principle and the same actors, of course. For 60 days, between two confinements, Romane Bohringer, Philippe Rebbot, Rose and Raoul have therefore resumed service. “I wonder if we are not a little crazy to have embarked them in this story. Especially since with Philippe, their father, we are also very modest, discreet, we never exposed ourselves, explains the filmmaker to the magazine Gala. And now we are making a series that tells a little about our life, even if it is also a fable, a parable. I worried about it with my daughter, I was afraid it would disrupt her back to school. She said, ‘I don’t care anyway, because it was one of the best times of my life’. “
What’s crazy is the unalterable side of our bond
The first three episodes of Blurry Love were broadcast, in preview, during the 23rd edition of the La Rochelle TV Fiction Festival, last September. A tender reunion for Romane Bohringer and Philippe Rebbot, who never really left each other. The two exes had met on the set of the TV movie The Belleville Triporteur, in 2004.
“What is crazy, for our greatest happiness, is the unalterable side of our bond, rejoices Romane Bohringer. And this is also what this series tells, the story of a bond that is no longer a love affair at all, but remains something intimate, a recognition, a form of twinning. By having our children, we made the tacit promise that it would be fine. That this family that we form would be indestructible. Transformable, of course, and as solar as possible, but indestructible …“
