Asterix and its reviews commented by Gilles Lellouche… In an interview with Le Figaro, the interpreter of Obélix returns to the complicated reception of the film.
“The vehemence of people on the film amazed me a lot. (…) The violence of the welcome he received seemed incredible to me.” For the first time, Gilles Lellouche comments on the reception received by Asterix and Obelix: The Middle Empire, released on February 1st.
If the spectators have indeed been there (they are more than 4.5 million to have seen the film since its release), it is an understatement to say that the critics have not been kind to the film.
During an interview for Le Figaro, Gilles Lellouche, starring in a new film today, I will always see your faces, agreed to say a few words on the subject, adding: “It’s a bit of a drama at the time. (…) It was not easy. Guillaume is a very long-time friend. When I saw him go on this adventure, I was faithful. I absolutely do not regret.
The personal attacks on a family film, (…) which has no other claim than to entertain the greatest number, I do not understand them
He pursues : “All the films are attackable and I hear the reasons for which the film does not please. But the personal attacks on a family film, which has nothing to do with fire, which has no other claim than to entertain the greatest number, I don’t understand them“.
Gilles Lellouche is showing this Wednesday in I will always see your faces, the new film by Jeanne Herry, which received the Label Le Club AlloCiné likes.
The synopsis of I will always see your faces: Since 2014, in France, Restorative Justice has offered victims and perpetrators of offenses the opportunity to dialogue in secure systems, supervised by professionals and volunteers such as Judith, Fanny or Michel.
