Gustave Kervern's 'Je ne me laisserai plus faire' Premieres on Arte to Critical Acclaim

The feminist road movie, featuring Yolande Moreau and Laure Calamy, explores themes of revenge, resilience, and liberation, earning the Best Direction award at the Festival de la Fiction de La Rochelle.

Gustave Kervern's solo directorial debut, 'Je ne me laisserai plus faire,' is a feminist road movie centered on two women confronting past humiliations.
The film stars Yolande Moreau as a septuagenarian escaping her nursing home and Laure Calamy as her spirited accomplice, forming a compelling duo reminiscent of 'Thelma & Louise.'
Blending humor and poignancy, the story addresses societal issues like elder care and the lingering impact of life's small indignities.
The film has been praised for its nuanced performances, especially from Moreau and Calamy, and its balance of absurdity and emotional depth.
'Je ne me laisserai plus faire' has already garnered critical recognition, winning Best Direction at the Festival de la Fiction de La Rochelle, and is airing tonight on Arte.
