A tender and bloody French comedy, like the title of the film. This is the story of a fashion journalist who will inherit the family butcher’s shop, two worlds that everything opposes a priori. The story is inspired by Hugo Desnoyer, the butcher who has become a star.
It was in a listed butcher’s shop in the 14th arrondissement of Paris that the whole story began. Director Christopher Thompson lives in the neighborhood and has his habits in this trade. “This is where I had the idea to make this film, seeing this work, this stall, all these people who come every day to talk to their butcher”, he explains. The result : a comedy. Between Charlie, the queen of fashion, and Martial the butcher, it all starts with a clumsiness and a little lie.
“She does not know that I work in her father’s butcher’s shop, says the actor Arnaud Ducret. Her father dies, and she must, through the story of life, recover this butcher’s shop, and take care of it, which she absolutely does not want to.“ The fashion journalist will fashion her lover, who will become a media star, a romantic comedy that goes against clichés. “It was a desire to respect two professions that are very often caricatured on the screen”, says actress Géraldine Pailhas. Perhaps enough to create vocations, in this sector where 4,000 jobs are to be filled each year.
