the book “On the dark paths” adapted on the big screen

The film On the dark paths hits theaters Wednesday, March 22. Jean Dujardin embodies the writer Sylvain Tellier, a great traveler, he walked 1,800 kilometers from Menton (Alpes-Maritimes) to Cherbourg (Manche) and drew a story in the form of an ode to nature. Before this crossing, the man was a successful writer, but an accident will leave him for dead. Going back on the paths, a challenge for himself.

“The Path to Redemption”

“This is the path to redemption. There is a desire to take care of themselves, to lighten the backpack a little, to try to forgive themselves, to try to move forward, to change their lives“, says Jean Dujardin. An experience that Sylvain Tesson managed to pass on to Jean Dujardin during the filming. A great bond was born with the actor. “For me, it’s wonderful. I feel like there’s a continuation of what I’ve been through“, says the writer. Slowing down the pace, blending into nature, an intimate dive succeeds. A rare intensity in cinema.
