Yvan Attal adapts My stupid dog, of John Fante, with Charlotte Gainsbourg

The filming of Yvan Attal's next film, My Dog Stupid has entered the field of the concrete. The filmmaker and actor will play in the feature film, adapted from a novel by John Fante, alongside Charlotte Gainsbourg, his wife in civilian life. This is the story of a man who can no longer stand his family …

Wish Yvan Attal that he does not take too much to heart the story told by John Fante in My dog ​​Stupid : translated by Brice Matthieussent and published in 10/18, the book was published after the death of its author, in 1985 in original version.

Crazy and surrealist, My dog ​​Stupid will allow Attal to shoot with his wife, Charlotte Gainsbourg, after My wife is an actress (2001), They got married and had many children (2004), Do not disturb (2012) and They are everywhere (2016).

The publisher's summary for:

A huge bear dog, obsessed and very badly behaved, arrives one night in the family in crisis Henry J. Molise, author failed in his fifties and disillusioned. In their pretty Californian suburb of Point Dume, this endearing monster is about to sow unspeakable chaos. A gem of wacky humor and boisterous provocation.

When he was talking about his work on the adaptation of the book into a screenplay, Yvan Attal had given the opportunity to play with his own children, an idea that was abandoned since an advertisement for a casting was broadcast last May. [19659005]
