DIRECTOR: Daniel Auteuil is a French actor and director who has appeared in a wide range of film genres, including period dramas, romantic comedies, and crime thrillers. In 1996 he won the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival together with Belgian actor Pascal Duquenne.
DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT: It’s based on a true story: a blog written by a very young lawyer, who died two years ago. I allowed myself a certain freedom [to make the story more compelling on a cinematic level], but I wanted to remain faithful to the real tale, for the family and children of the people involved, and for the lawyer himself and the passion he had for his job.
