My Samba, which I am sitting down to watch as you read this post.
From the directors of The Intouchables, again teaming with Omar Sy who’s joined by Charlotte Gainsbourg and Tahar Rahim, Samba centers on the title character (Sy) who migrated to France 10 years ago from Senegal, and has since been plugging away at various lowly jobs, willing to do whatever it takes to get working papers. Alice (Gainsbourg) is a senior executive who has recently undergone a burnout and is trying to get her life back on track until fate draws them together.
As someone that loved The Intouchables and has already heard good things about this film, I’m excited to see what directors Olivier Nakache and Eric Toledano have to offer as Samba is making its world premiere at the festival.
Check out the first trailer directly below and stay tuned for my review, hopefully later today or, at the latest, tomorrow morning.
