INTERVIEW

Meet Xavier Legrand, the director behind the gripping new film ‘The Successor’ (‘Le Successeur’). ✨

👗 Set in the glamorous yet ruthless world of high fashion, the film tells the story of Ellias Barnès, the young and ambitious artistic director of a renowned Parisian fashion house. But with great power comes great challenges. As Ellias grapples with mounting pressures, his life takes an unexpected turn. 💔🌆

🛫 Journeying from the chic streets of Paris to the nostalgic corners of Montreal, Ellias confronts not just his estranged father’s legacy but a haunting inheritance that threatens his very being. Will he succumb to the fate of his father’s weak heart, or will he rewrite his destiny?

The film was released to day in French theaters and coming soon to your country 💥
