PRESS KIT

Incognito is the first acting experience Bénabar singer. Director Eric Lavaine tells why he chose to star in his comedy, "Because it is totally legitimate singer and because it is a born comedian. We met when I was artistic director, in charge of authors in the series H for which he wrote episodes. It became a friend and it is natural that I spoke of Incognito because I knew his ambitions as an actor. In addition, there was only him to write the songs I needed for the film. Basically, we got confidence. "

Bénabar singer began his acting career with Incognito, but he took advantage of the film to cap two hats: that of the writer (he has some experience in the dmaine since he has to write some episodes of the series H ) and a composer. Indeed, it is he who has composed all the songs of Incognito. He had already composed for film in 2004, Mrs. Edward, and in 2006, Le Lièvre de Vatanen.

Director Eric Lavaine remembers precisely the day he got the idea of Incognito: "(...) I spent a vacation in Naples and one morning, running along the bay, I came across a guy who plays a unknown song by U2 on electric guitar. I stop to listen and read in his eyes: "I wrote it that night, what do you think, buddy? ". I returned to my hotel and I wrote the pitch of Incognito. The simple story of a guy who has appropriated songs of another. "

Bénabar recalls his first experience on camera: "It was rather something that excited me secretly, like many other things we want but we will not necessarily do: climb Annapurna, a lead Ferrari or go bungee jumping ... (...) It was something that was more about fantasy than a dream. Something I never thought realize. "Then add to the experience in general Incognito:" Seriously, this experience has really upset me. This film has not only brought me things on the set, but also after. For example, Eric Lavaine wanted me to get the sport, I had a few pounds to lose ... Well, I continue. It's a film that changed the look I had on me at the physical level. I know I was not quite the same at the end of filming, and this change follows me, without falling into cliché. It was a really new experience. "

Eric Lavaine not say enough about Frank Dubosc, one of the main actors of Incognito. For him, the actor delivers a touching performance and child: "Franck Dubosc is an amazing actor! But an actor, to give the full extent of his talent, needs to correct texts. It's that simple. And that's because it's a great actor that can make it play scenes sometimes limits, scenes that are heavy with gravel or other and take on another dimension with Franck. It's not so easy to play comedy while playing the Wii-ass naked. Francis is a character who has no filter between brain and speech, as a child. And Franck has given this childlike and touching the character. "

incognito-2 Pressing proposed by Pathé conceals numerous surprises: first of all, as noted by our colleagues hdnumerique.com , Eric Lavaine film was shot entirely using the Panavision Genesis HD camera, which was already seen at work on many productions in North America. Latest generation, the camera returns dynamic images and excellent, if not remarkable precision. In this sense, the film has a vision for High Definition thought, and it is with no surprise that what is offered here on this cake turns out to be an excellent place. The fidelity of the image shows himself stunning, a superb finesse, definition perfect. Far from proposing a digital rendering too, the image presented here preserves a stamp cinégénique, breathable and flood lights, cutting the night scene with care, and offers impeccable contrasts. The sharpness of all, the image sharpness is what we can now see better. Clean, defined, without the slightest defect (dust or granularity, defaulting encoding etc. ...), the image of Incognito is a luxury it offers parade from plane to plane, further amplified by the accuracy of colorimetry, color calibrated perfectly to represent these somewhat grisaillantes Parisian atmosphere. With his impeccable fluidity and panache certain image offered here hangs from the first shots, and never fails to work, with its exposure to onions, the ideal brightness at any point, and its depth of field very natural. An unexpected surprise for an armored steel made, a rock-solid, stability flawless. Extremely surprising.

incognito-3 While the bulk of the show will take place at the front, however nothing will prevent this soundtrack to shine through as 'magic'. Magic? Absolutely. With a voice recording literally stunning, which gives the dialogues sometimes tasty immediacy and dramatic impact very pleasant, and musical staging tender and tasty, very discreet, this soundtrack is no lack of arguments and is again a very welcome surprise. The front stereo will be the main driving force behind this production, however, realistic sound and sharp cut. The scale shows sound is limited by the lack of topography and multi few issues, but she was quite real and palpable, giving the film a HiFi sound space with roundness will not disappoint, and fresh and shiny accents. Just thick physical, the soundtrack will tickle your speakers on some occasions targeted: the music, performed by singer-actor, show a great foundation, and are armed with a dynamic that ensures flawless stature and depth signal to sound. In this sense, the soundtrack of the film never suffers from anemia and never shows inexpressive. On the contrary, it ends up imposing stature transparent and dynamic, sparkling vivacity, without any réégalisation. This feature allows the audio codec DTS-HD Master Audio to illustrate valiantly: he cut stage area accurately, carefully dressed the music of a silky fabric (the first moments of the film are evocative), and perfect rendering making sure nothing gets lost or dissolve, deformed or distorted. The sound post pierce the surface of the soundtrack not without elegance, and nuance of each micro-miking seems to revive, revived by a sound texture as pleasing to ear than is the satin to the touch.

It suffices to listen finely installation dialogues in the heart of the center channel, or to observe the many urban atmospheres during the outdoor sequences (FNAC, etc ...), who occasionally wake up somewhat behind the scene, but mostly cause the creation of richly textured sound levels, prompting the soundstage to gain size. Discreet but attentive really transparent, crystal clear, clean and attractive, this soundtrack sound profile displays a shimmering, lovely, fresh and invigorating, that allows uncompressed audio track to stage not without energy, with a very nice frequency response, never really constrained by its small 16 bit resolution. An undeniable success in its register.
