참여 작품

Les Pigeons
Stage Director
Qui est Monsieur Schmitt ?
Director
We take him for someone else, a Mr. Schmitt. And one evening, at dinner, he and his wife, played by Valérie Bonneton, realize that their apartment has changed, that their business is not theirs. The play is about the perception of oneself. I love the absurd universe of its author, Sébastien Thiéry.
Poor Georges
Writer
Georges (Grégory Gadebois), teaches school in Montreal – he and wife Emma, (Monia Chokri) have just moved to the countryside. One day, he surprises a young intruder Zack, (Noah Parker), rummaging through his things.
Les rustres
Director
Written in 1760, Carlo Goldoni’s comedy has never been performed at the Comédie-Française, perhaps overshadowed by the famousHoliday Trilogy. A satire of the Venetian merchant class, embodied by narrow-minded, complaining and intolerant men whose mistrust of the fairer sex borders on the absurd, The Boors perfectly illustrates Goldoni’s theatre, a “theatre of life with a real content, characters observed in reality, and a natural expression.” Thus, a theatre in which the man Voltaire described as “nature’s son and painter” scrutinises his contemporaries, their relationships and their social behaviour. His work served to entertain while providing posterity with an acute testimony of the morals of his time. Indeed, Jean-Louis Benoit warns against reducing the author to a simple “photographer of reality”.
Le syndrome de l'écossais
Scenic Artist
Bruno and Florence invited Sophie and Alex for the evening, but nothing goes as planned between the successful author, the brilliant entrepreneur and their respective wives, two sisters. Contradictions, anxieties, bad faith and pettiness come around the table. A delightful cascade of incidents quickly transforms the family reunion into a crazy night where secrets, bottles and unsaid are shattered until the two couples, caught in an irresistible whirlwind, formulate the most unexpected.
La voyante
Writer
La voleuse de Saint-Lubin
Writer
Françoise Barnier, the film's heroine, is a mother. One day, she stole something. She was in dire straits but no more so than usual. She was not in debt. She had always refused the degradation of excessive debt and charities, attempting to live in line with the rules laid down by society and the law. We follow her journey through the judicial institution. Here, two ideas of justice and law collide.
Volaverunt
Dialogue
The story revolves around Goya's womanising and the mysterious death of the Duchess of Alba at the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th Centuries, at a time when Madrid was wobbling through a difficult time and setting the scene for the following Prim vs Crown uprising.

카우치 인 뉴욕
Screenplay
헨리(Henry Harriston: 윌리암 허트 분)는 전형적인 뉴요커이며 성공한 정신과 의사다. 일상의 따분함과 성공의 무료함에 휩싸인 헨리는 충동적으로 파리판 트리뷴지에 광고를 싣는다. ‘6주간 뉴욕의 아파트 교환, 화분과 개, 기타 등 등을 돌봐야 함’. 천성적인 상냥함으로 뭇 남성들의 흠모를 받는 발레리나 베아트리체(Beatrice Saulnier: 줄리엣 비노슈 분)는 파리의 허름한 서민용 아파트에서 이 광고를 발견한다. 곧이어 두 사람은 대서양을 건너 각자의 집을 바꾸게 되고, 이들 앞에는 새로운 삶이 펼쳐진다. 파리의 달동네 같은 누추한 서민용 아파트에 짐을 푼 헨리. 뉴욕의 호화 아파트에 짐을 푼 베아트리체. 단순히 각자의 거처를 떠나 머리를 식히려던 이들에겐 당연히 생활의 혼란이 함께 한다. 헨리가 파리에서 베아트리체의 사랑을 갈구하는 남자들에게 시달리는 동안, 베아트리체는 헨리를 찾아오는 고객들의 하소연을 들어주다 차츰 심도깊은 상담을 하게 된다. 대부분이 남자들인 헨리의 고객들은 자신들의 이야기를 끝까지 들어주는 베아트리체의 솔직함과 매력에 이끌려 헨리의 상담 때와는 달리 그녀와의 시간을 기다리고, 환자는 자꾸 늘어만 간다. 베아트리체의 어수선한 아파트에서 묵는 헨리는 베아트리체 앞으로 도착한 수많은 러브 레터를 하나하나 읽어가며 그녀에 대한 관심을 갖게 된다. 결국 일정보다 2주 먼저 뉴욕에 들어오게 된 헨리는 환자를 가장해 베아트리체의 카우치에 눕게 된다. 그리고 어느 사이엔가 자신의 깊은 속내를 털어놓게 되고, 호기심이 사랑으로 변해가는 것을 느낀다. 베아트리체 역시 일방적으로 구애를 받아오던 처지에서, 이제는 이지적이고 냉담한 듯한 헨리에게 마음이 끌린다.

In this retelling of the story of Hamlet, the young man is a soldier on leave to attend his widowed mother's marriage to his uncle - a marriage which is unpleasantly near in time to the death of his father. Every element of Shakespeare's tragic story is present, except that, this time, Dede refuses to kill anyone, no matter how persistent his father's frustrated ghost is.
