Philippe Katerine: "I have more of a life plan than a career plan"
Video In Sophie Letourneur's "L'Aventura," in theaters this Wednesday, Philippe Katerine plays a somewhat lost father on vacation with his wife and children on a disorienting road trip through Sardinia. Interview.
Sophie Letourneur continues her triptych about the couple that began in 2023 with "Voyages en Italie." Two years after their escapade to Sicily in an attempt to escape their routine, Jean-Philippe, played by Philippe Katerine, and Sophie, played by the director herself, head straight to Sardinia. Now accompanied by their two unruly children, the duo is shooting a sincere, burlesque, and picturesque vacation film called "L'Aventura," in theaters this Wednesday, July 2. A road trip as crazy as it is tender, between arguments, traffic jams, swimming, and existential doubts.
