France 3 is broadcasting an unpublished episode of “Alex Hugo” tonight, dedicated to director Marion Sarraut, who died in 2021. What are the reasons behind this tribute?
This Tuesday, October 25 from 9:10 p.m., France 3 is broadcasting an unpublished opus by Alex Hugo, his collection of TV films carried by Samuel Le Bihan and Lionel Astier.
Entitled “Bad blood”, this episode directed by Muriel Aubin, sees Alex Hugo embark on a new investigation after discovering a young man prostrate in a rusty car who claims to be named Léo Melino.
The emotion is great for Angelo who had participated in the research when Leo disappeared, seven years earlier, when he was only 11 years old.
If time often heals the most painful wounds, this is not the case for Angelo who still regrets having been forced to close the file, and even less for Hélène Melino (Nade Dieu), his mother who has not never admitted or endured the loss of her son despite the love and comfort provided by her husband, Maxime (Riton Liebman), and their second child Tristan (Milo Machado-Graner).
If Angelo is quick to rejoice, Alex finds this story a little too good to be true. He is touched by the immediate reconnection of the mother and her eldest, by the welcome of the small family to the found son, but remains perplexed by the account that the young man gives of his abduction and his years of absence. As our two police officers embark on this investigation, they will have to face many surprises.
The most seasoned audience of France 3 who stayed until the end of this new episode probably noticed that it was dedicated to Marion Sarraut, a French director and director who died on July 12, 2021 at the age of 82. year.
If she has never worked on the series, Muriel Aubin, the director, wanted to pay her a last tribute by dedicating this episode of Alex Hugo to her.
Marion Sarraut began her career as an actress, landing small roles with François Truffaut, Jean Luc Godard and Éric Rohmer. Above all, she was one of the first female directors on television. She thus worked on episodes of Julie Lescaut, Les Cordier, judge and cop or even Foster family.
Marion Sarraut is also known for having been a member of the 50/50 collective, which aims to promote gender equality and sexual and gender diversity in cinema and audiovisual.
