25/08/2003 - A heavy but rewarding schedule awaits the French actress who just completed Patrice Leconte's latest and is now on the set of Philippe Lioret's L'équipier

Filming has started on the Ouessant island location of Philippe Lioret's new feature film, L'équipier, starring Sandrine Bonnaire, Philippe Torreton and Grégori Derangère. Lioret first directed Bonnaire two years ago in Mademoiselle.

2004 promises to be an important year for Sandrine Bonnaire. She started work on L'équipier on 18 August, after a spring spent making Confidences trop intimes directed by Patrice Leconte and produced by Les Films Alain Sarde. This film is currently in post-production.
In Lioret's film, Bonnaire is Mahé, a young islander whose life is turned on its head by the arrival of a young stranger played by Grégori Derangère, whom our readers will remember seeing in Bon Voyage. Wounded during the Algerian conflict, he helps Mahé's husband (Philippe Torreton - Capitaine Conan). Lioret wrote the screenplay with Emmanuel Courcol and Christian Sinniger and the film was produced by Christopeh Rossignon on behalf of his Nord-Ouest Production, in partnership with Fin Août Productions.
The team behind this film hope that L'équipier will do even better than Lioret and Bonnaire's last film, Mademoiselle - which sold over 685,000 tickets during its domestic release in 2001.
