Sheherazade

Fiction . 109' . France . 2018 . French / ST : English, Dutch

Zachary, 17, leaves prison. Rejected by his mother, he hangs out in Marseille’s blue collar neighborhoods. That’s where he meets Sheherazade…With virtuosity, Jean-Bernard Marlin brings us a contemporary coming of age love story without pathos or moralizing all while avoiding the trap of the pseudorealist documentary.

A first film, shot with non professional actors, which is hot and wild like the thousand and one nights of Marseille.

Jean-Bernard Marlin grew up in Marseilles and then moved to Paris to study. After receiving his diploma from the Louis Lumière cinema school and completing a Screenplay Workshop with the Fémis school, he directed Thick-Skinned in 2007, a short that was selected and received awards in numerous international film festivals (Best short at the San Francisco Film festival). Quelque chose de féroce (Something Fierce) in 2012, is a documentary about a juvenile delinquent, then, he directed The Runaway in 2013, which received the Golden Bear for best short film at the 2013 Berlinale and was nominated for the 2014 Cesars. Also profoundly interested in acting, he trained in several different acting methods. Today, he gives drama classes in several schools in Paris and the surrounding towns. Sheherazade, entirely filmed with non-professional actors, is his first feature-length film.
