Director
After several short films acclaimed at festivals, Sophie Letourneur directed her first feature film, 'La Vie au ranch', in 2010, which was presented at the ACID at the Cannes Festival. In 2011, she presented 'Le Marin masqué' at the Locarno Festival and took the opportunity to shoot 'Les Coquillettes' there, which also screened there in 2012. After casting Lolita Chamah and Benjamin Biolay in 'Gaby Baby Doll', she won the Prix Jean Vigo in 2020 for 'Énorme', starring Marina Foïs and Jonathan Cohen. She then began work on an ‘Italian trilogy’ about couples with 'Voyages en Italie', released in 2023, of which 'L'Aventura' is the second part, again with Philippe Katerine and herself in the lead roles.

“A kaleidoscope of moments, a sensory tale, where life nibbles away at fiction all the time.”
“Far from appearing sterile, the film's reflexivity reveals more clearly the depth of Letourneur's gesture, her stubborn audacity.”
