Antonin Peretjatko
My first short film, Rush Hour, was shot in 2001, in B&W and developed in my bathtub. In 2004 and 2005, The funny side of the street and French Kiss, were in the running for the César. The last shot, a medium-length film, was shot in 16mm during a round the world trip. In 2009 and 2011, I shot Jacques Audiard’s last two films’ making-ofs and two shorts, including Beware of invisibility. My life is the rough draft of my films.

Hector meets Truquette on Bastille Day and becomes obsessed with seducing her. The plan is to get her to the seaside pronto. Pator’s not complaining, especially if her friend Charlotte comes along for the ride. So off they go, down the country roads of a broke and broken France. Times are hard! Suddenly the government cancels a month of summer. Everyone back to work! A wad of cash and two gun shots later, the group splits in two like France itself. But careering away from work in no way daunts the remaining trio, dead set on relocating the Bastille Girl and reveling in an endless summer.
Fast and hilarious comedy full of slapstick and fun of experimenting, which the early Woody Allan would have liked a great deal.
