"Family Feast", the film

The pitch...

It's summer, and the whole family is gathered for the birthday of grandmother, Andréa, played by Catherine Deneuve. While the adults prepare lunch, the children rehearse a play put on for the occasion. Soon, a storm is brewing, both literally and figuratively. Claire, Emmanuelle Bercot, the older sister from a first marriage, makes an unexpected arrival after having disappeared from the radar for nearly three years. Her return is met with joy and then unease.

Since the invention of cinema at the beginning of the last century, the Lot-et-Garonne has lent its mythical landscapes to cameras and film crews

René Clair, the great French director, came to Castillones in 1961 for his film, "Tout l'or du monde", which starred Bourvil.

Robert Enrico filmed "Le vieux fusil", a drama played by the great Philippe Noiret and Romy Schneider, against the background of the German occupation in the vicinity of Bonaguil, which was inspired by the massacre of Oradour-sur-Glane.

André Téchiné was born in Tarn-et-Garonne, in Valence d'Agen, and came as a neighbor with Catherine Deneuve, his favorite actress, to shoot "Le lieu du crime" not far from Clermont de Soubiran.

In 1994, for "Les Roseaux Sauvages", a film that won three awards at Cannes, the director returned to Villeneuve-sur-Lot to shoot a story of adolescent love.

In 2014, Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud directed the feature film "The Seasons" of which some scenes were shot in Port-Sainte-Marie and at the castle of Bonaguil.

 

 

"Fête de famille" was shot in Nérac in 2018.
