Voyages en Italie

For her fifth feature film, Sophie Letourneur returns in front of the camera and behind for the Arte France Cinéma and CNC supported Voyages en Italie. The compact, Rotterdam-selected title finds a French couple (with Philippe Katerine) looking for a relationship hack. The programming team are calling this a zany rom-com. This was shot in early 2022. Her last film in 2019’s Enormous with Marina Foïs (also a Rotterdam selection) won the prestigious Prix Jean-Vigo award.
