Marina Foïs seems to be unanimous, but that has not always been the case. There is a film whose actress regrets the reception…
The career of Marina Foïs has something to envy. However, the actress confided to being bitter about the reception of one of her films in particular. Present at the 79th Venice Film Festival to present The Syndicalist alongside Isabelle Huppert, the actress has chained the films this year: the thriller As bestas by Spaniard Rodrigo Sorogoyen, the French road-trip Freewheeling and horror comedy The Year of the Shark. The Franco-Italian has nothing more to prove. But she regrets the criticism during the release of one of her feature films, which has since become cult.
In 2004, Alain Chat and his partners from the Robins des Bois troupe presented to the public RRRrrr!!!. “No”, “not funny”, “wind”… The judgments are harsh. Years later, Marina Foïs will confide that she was surprised by the violence of the press, which she describes as “disgusting”. Even at the previews, the absence of laughter from the public was hard to take for the artist, who recently said of Louane: “She’s my big girl”.
