In the current cinematographic landscape, "La Marginale" stands out for its human and authentic approach. Released in theaters on May 3, 2023, this film is the work of director Frank Cimière and stars Corinne Masiero and Vincent Chalambert. It is a singular road trip that takes us on a moving human quest full of surprises.
The story focuses on Michèle, a homeless woman living at Orly airport, played by Corinne Masiero. She regularly meets Théo, a young mentally handicapped sweeper, played by Vincent Chalambert. One day, Michèle makes an unexpected discovery that leads her to convince Théo to take her in his unlicensed car to Lisbon to find his son. They embark on a moving journey, full of pitfalls, on the country roads.
The idea of the film was born in the mind of Eurydice Da Silva, co-writer of Frank Cimière. It was inspired by a real-life incident: a homeless man discovering a bag full of money in Roissy airport. From this starting point, they imagined the story of Michèle and Théo, two marginalized people, two beings dented by life, who embark on a complex and slow journey through France and Portugal.
The film "La Marginale" is not only a human adventure, but also a daring look at important social issues such as marginalization and disability. Frank Cimière manages to address these themes without ever making them central, but rather by integrating them naturally into the narrative.
Corinne Masiero 's performance is particularly remarkable. Having lived on the streets herself, her personal experience adds a dimension of realism to her character, Michèle. Similarly, Vincent Chalambert delivers a striking performance as Theo. The duo creates a dynamic that is both moving and captivating, giving the film its strength.
"La Marginale" is a singular and captivating road movie that explores the byways of life. It is a deeply human film that invites us to contemplate the beauty in the ordinary, the hope in the adversity and the strength in the vulnerability. A film not to be missed, in theaters May 3, 2023.
