Production

[edit]

And Their Children After Them is an adaptation of Nicolas Mathieu's 2018 novel of the same name, which received the prestigious Prix Goncourt.[6]

The film is produced by Hugo Sélignac for Chi-Fou-Mi Productions and by Alain Attal for Trésor Films, in co-production with France 3 Cinéma.[5] According to the producers, Nicolas Mathieu had been approached by many others filmmakers who were interested in producing "naturalistic adaptations". They won him over with their promise of an ambitious project in the style of Paul Thomas Anderson and Martin Scorsese, with Romanesque qualities.[2]

Principal photography began on 25 July and took place in France's Grand Est region, including in the Fensch valley (Moselle) and in the Vosges.[5][7][8][9][10][11] The 55-day shoot with Augustin Barbaroux as director of photography was wrapped on 10 October 2023,[5] on the pier of the Lac de Pierre-Percée (Meurthe-et-Moselle).[12]

Release

[edit]

And Their Children After Them will have its world premiere as part of the official competition at the 81st Venice International Film Festival.[13] The film was originally set to be released theatrically in France by Warner Bros. France on 18 September 2024,[5][14] but the release date was pushed back to 4 December 2024.[15] French and international sales are handled by Paris-based company Charades.[16]
