Overview

• Gérard Depardieu, 76, is currently filming ‘Elle regardait sans plus rien voir,’ directed by Fanny Ardant, on the island of São Miguel in the Azores.
• This marks Depardieu’s return to acting after a three-year hiatus, with his last project being the 2021 film ‘Les Volets verts.’
• The Paris prosecutor has requested an 18-month suspended prison sentence, a €20,000 fine, psychological care, victim compensation, and registration in the sexual offenders registry for Depardieu, with the court's verdict set for May 13.
• Fanny Ardant, who has publicly defended Depardieu during his trial, leads the production, which features an all-Portuguese supporting cast and explores themes of love, memory, and redemption.
• Depardieu plays 'the magician of the island,' a mysterious character in the film, which is financed by Portuguese companies and scheduled to complete shooting by May 24.
