Don Juan

A man stands before the ruins of his life, left behind at the altar. What follows is no ordinary heartbreak, but a musical, obsessive whirlwind of projections, remorse, and failed attempts at reconciliation. In the midst of his own stage role as a famous seducer, he loses touch with reality—every woman seems to be an echo of his lost love. Words no longer help, so he begins to sing. To dance. To hope that the stage will give him what life has denied him. DON JUAN by Serge Bozon is a sophisticated musical tragicomedy in which Tahar Rahim and Virginie Efira shine as a vocally talented ex-couple. With melancholic wit and emotional depth, the film reflects on love, rejection, and self-deception—a modern reinterpretation of the iconic character. DON JUAN was shown in 2022 in the prestigious Cannes Première section of the Cannes Film Festival. Particular praise was given to the ambiguous staging, the self-deprecating treatment of classic gender roles, and the elegant interweaving of music and narrative. Serge Bozon once again proves his flair for bizarre nuances, as he did previously in films such as MRS HYDE and TIP TOP. Starring Tahar Rahim, Virginie Efira, Alain Chamfort, Damien Chapelle, and Jehnny Beth.
