Damien Bonnard and Céline Sallette Talk Caneser entry “Malditos”

In the new Max series "Malditos", leaders of the gypsy community Sara (Céline Sallette) are threatened in southern France, threatening the deportation of increasing waters. To save her business and provide her son with a future, she needs to build a new alliance as soon as possible. Juan (Damian Bornard) is probably her best choice.

"It's going to get worse. They're enemies," said Salette at the Cannes Film Festival. "With friends, like Capulets and Montagues. They're exactly the same in a way."

Sallette believes that even if they end up respecting each other, their complex relationship will inevitably become more intense. Bornard disagreed: "I'm not sure if you Do. You set a trap for me. ”

"Malditos" is produced by the White Lion movie owned by Mediawan. It was created by Jean-Charles Hue (“Dirty Dove of Tijuana”, “Eating Bones”) with Olivier Prieur, Maya Haffar and Dorothée Lachaud and directed with Cécilia Verheyden. Warner Bros. finds it is being sold.

Pablo Cobo, Darren Muselet, Raïka Hazanavicius, Jérôme Niel and Valérie Karsenti also starred.

Sara and Juan are forced to fight for their lives and must also deal with their own families. There is also a long-term secret that is about to resurface.

"It's an old world. It's so fun to get into that mentality. You could say it's about saving families, but their entire system is flawed and leads to destruction. This show is about how all this violence can cause more violence. Unless you get out of it, it's going to destroy you," Sallette said.

Bonnard Deadpans: “The role we play here, we are like mushrooms: we grow up on things that die.”

French actors are no strangers to the "Salette" or recently in "Asteroid City" and "Poor Things" (Bonnard). But the “Malditos” suit that combines amateur performers and professional actors requires flexibility.

"It's definitely a fucking challenge. The conditions are bad. We've been in the tent. There are a lot of us, and we've been having fun. It's very, very windy. It's unconventional, very tired, and (ultimately) very interested."

"I saw this show for the first time yesterday and I found it to be so powerful. It's special. These people have been trying to survive to survive all the time: it's always a matter of life and death. This clan, they're moving all the time, but it makes their existence very vulnerable. They only connect with others - they're connected with others - they're not connected with the land."

Their indestructible tit philosophy alone would echo some (land obsessed with) Dutton family, but Smash's hit "Yellowstone" was not the team's reference.

"I haven't seen it yet - I haven't even seen the 'Game of Thrones'." But the West is very concerned about the thoughts of creator Jean-Charles Hue.

"He always quotes (John) Ford. He talks about his way of shooting and I think he's very inspired by all this wide space and the open horizon," Sallette said.
