Production is under way on Un détour par Diane (lit. "A Detour by Diane"), the new film by the offbeat duo consisting of Ann Sirot and Raphaël Balboni. After a strong streak of short films (La Version du Loup, Lucha Libre, Much in Common and With Thelma, which won the Magritte Award for Best Fiction Short in 2018), Sirot and Balboni made a splash with their debut feature, Madly in Life [+lee también:

However, it seems unlikely that the writer-director duo will reprise that very specific tone with this new project, which sees them tackle another highly codified genre and make it their own: the western. The story follows Diane, who desires men as much as she hates them. When she learns that her mother was raped in her youth, the shock runs deep. It’s a surprise, and yet it explains everything. Diane has only one idea in mind – to avenge her mother. Except that Mum has only one idea in mind herself – to finally become the woman she should have been. Between one woman who wants people to remember and another who wants people to forget, things get tense. And so while it's a western, it's also a revenge movie and a family drama - and surely one with their trademark dash of comedy and whimsy.

Diane is played by Ninon Borséi, an actress who rose to fame in their short Much in Common and who was seen again in their previous feature The (Ex)perience of Love as well as in Life's a Bitch [+lee también:
