“ They are filmed, they are editing, reassembling. I've been spending my time there for all these years. That's all I did practically: go up, go back up, try... I hope the end of Mektoub soon. » This is how Abdellatif Kechiche expressed himself at the end of 2022 about his “great work”. Since then, no news... The director would have filmed a series in Sète during the summer of 2023. On this subject, not much has leaked either. We would really like to discover the rest of the adventures of Amin, Ophélie, Charlotte and the whole little Mektoub gang all the same; and not only for the “famous” cunnilingus scene, the impact of which should never have gone beyond the stage of a storm in a glass of water, but there we were, we were in the middle of a #metoo tidal wave during this Cannes 2019, and it is Art, eternal big loser, which has drunk the cup. “The very misogynistic nature of the film”, “Highly pornographic”, “Women reduced to their bodies and their “parts”…” And so? This is the final frontier! Why shouldn't there be porn in a mainstream film? On the contrary, it's an excellent idea. Without that, how can we represent the entirety of reality? Have we even taken the full measure of the masterpiece of staging, of psychology, of love and seduction, of finesse of writing (nothing is improvised, obviously) that is whirlwind miracle of Canto Uno ? The cruelty of romantic relationships unfolds there, under the sun to be exact, at the beach, at the bar, in a club, everywhere. Obviously, the action takes place in the 90s, as you know, that is to say before social networks, before the transfer of life into small Instagrammable boxes, before the world after. Here, everything is open, possible, exalted, alive. We want more ! We therefore hope to one day be able to discover the three missing parts of this poetic tetralogy: Intermezzo , Canto Due and Canto Tre . In the meantime, never forget Ophélie Bau's ass!
