Last Thursday, at the Jean Renoir amphitheater, ESRA welcomed screenwriter Gilles TAURAND.
As a screenwriter, Gilles TAURAND reunited in the mid-90s with André TECHINE, with whom he had already co-written "Hôtel des Amériques", to co-write "Les Voleurs " and "Les Roseaux sauvages" (for which he won a César for Best Screenplay). At the same time, "Nettoyage à sec" (dry cleaning ) by Anne FONTAINE won him a screenplay prize at the Venice Film Festival.
The film shown before the debate was "Les voleurs", starring Daniel AUTEUIL and Catherine DENEUVE.
Synopsis: Alex, a policeman, is seen as a traitor by his gangster family. Attracted by Juliette, a young thief, he nevertheless begins an affair with her, unaware that she also knows his brother, Ivan, who wants her to join his group of car thieves. Everything changes when Juliette mysteriously disappears on the night Ivan is killed.
