On January 31, 2018, Sparring, director Samuel Jouy's first feature film, will be released in French cinemas. All the details!
Steve Landry, 40, is a boxer who hasn't had the career he hoped for. Before hanging up, he agrees to become a "sparring partner" for a great champion. His role: to be the one on whom the boxer trains. Mathieu Kassovitz, Olivia Merilahti, Souleymane M'Baye, Billie Blain, Lyes Salem, Tomy Leconte, Ali Labidi and David Saracino form the cast of this film.
Samuel Jouy says it: Sparring is more a film about a boxer than about the sport itself.
It wasn't the ring that interested me the most, but its sidelines. Training, pre-match, post-match. The loneliness of the boxer, his unconscious, his moods, his family life, how he gets up every morning and above all, why?
On the program of the work, therefore, of effort, of the physical, of the mental, of renunciation and relentlessness.
Sparring will be on the big screen at the end of the month. Without further ado, discover the trailer, which suggests a dry, nervous and intense film.
The film struggles to find its audience. Here are some excerpts that should convince you to support this film.
