La Belle époque from French writer/director/actor Nicolas Bedos screened out of competition and the press conference was full of laughs. The director and his lively actors including the exquisite Fanny Ardant, Guillame Canet, Daniel Auteuil, and Doria Tillier really showed their love for one another throughout the conference.

Even one of the journalists commented on it, asking how it was that they had such great chemistry. It's inspiring to see when a film team really takes such interest in listening deeply to one another during a press conference. It might seem like it would just be a given but that is not always the case. The cast of La Belle époque really had a certain special quality, they just somehow lit up the room and everyone felt the warmth and love.
