Biography
Grégory Magne grew up in Burgundy. In 2007, he set off to cross the Atlantic solo from La Rochelle to Salvador de Bahia, on a 6.5-metre sailing boat with no means of communication. He took a camera on board to tell the story of his daily life, from which he made his first film, Vingt-quatre heures par jour de mer (Twenty-four hours a day at sea). Since then, he has sailed between documentaries and fiction, between scriptwriting and directing. In 2012, with Stéphane Viard, he wrote and directed his first feature film, L'Air de Rien, a gritty comedy starring Michel Delpech as a debt-ridden Michel Delpech. The film revealed Grégory Montel in his first leading role. In 2018, he reunited with the actor for his second feature film, Perfumes. This time Montel co-stars with Emmanuelle Devos, Gustave Kervern and Sergi Lopez... For The Musicians, the director uses real musicians who, along with Valérie Donzelli and Frédéric Pierrot, play the members of a string quartet whose egos struggle to find harmony.
