Penned by the director together with Claire Barré in collaboration with Jacques Fieschi and Pierre Trividic, the story is a loose adaptation of Marcel Marnat’s book Maurice Ravel. It looks back at the origins of the Bolero, when it was nothing but a simple command made by choreographer Ida Rubinstein to Maurice Ravel. The latter obeys as if a kind of exercise. But as the composition advances the work takes on a wholly unexpected dimension, reminding the musician of his demons but also the wonders he has worked...

Boléro is produced by Philippe Carcassonne on behalf of Ciné-@ and by David Gauquié and Julien Deris for Cinéfrance Studios, in co-production with F Comme Film, France 2 Cinéma and Belgium’s Artémis Productions. The feature film has been pre-purchased by Netflix and France Télévisions, and also enjoys a receipt on advances from the CNC alongside backing from the Ile-de-France region. The eight-week film shoot will take place in the Paris region, Brittany and Belgium, wrapping on 10 May. Photography is entrusted to Christophe Beaucarne (awarded the 2022 César in his category for Lost Illusions [+lee también:
