At sixty years old, two friends in financial difficulties
will benefit from their image in the world of fashion and advertising. One is
still beautiful, the other never was. But beyond the game of appearances, what
is it really to be of retirement age today?
Statement by Robin Sykes:
"Just like the screenplay or editing, I consider
music a complete form of writing for the film. Etienne's music doesn't
just illustrate it; it dresses it up and changes its appearance, perception,
and emotion. He has that talent. With his composition, he can be a full-fledged
actor in the work and become a narrative pillar. That's what happened
with 'La finale' (‘In the Game’), and I was very
eager for a new collaboration with him. After spending several months
surrounded by many people, finding ourselves as a duo in a more
straightforward, more direct creative process is a very privileged moment.
For 'Sexygénaires,' the stakes were different. I
didn't want classical comedy-style music that would come in to support comedic
effects. I wanted something different, more elegant, and above all, moving. It
was a challenge to align specific sequences with that direction, and I'm glad
we managed to meet it; it wasn't evident on paper.
As I'm not a musician at all and I sing out of tune, we
had to invent a language to communicate musically, translate desires, and
explore possibilities... it was funny. But the result is there, and I'm proud
of it."
Statement by Etienne Forget:
"This is my second collaboration with Robin, and
just like in 'La finale'(‘In the Game’), we desired to blend
humor with a profoundly human and naked foundation.
Like any good story, there's a pretext to discuss a
subject. Here, it's the crazy adventure of senior models, the comedy, and the
real issue: making peace with oneself before closing one's eyes for the last
time.
In 'La finale'(‘In the Game’), Robin and I
mainly focused on the treatment of the character's emotions, and for this film,
we wanted to get even closer to it. So we concentrated on a purely orchestral
composition with very exposed soloists to represent our characters and their
inevitable loneliness in this final stage of their lives. Except for rare
punctual passages, we find few or no elements traditionally associated with
comedy and, above all, a lot of melodies.
It's a real chance for the music to have such an
open-minded director, someone who asks for it and pays attention to the
precision of the emotions to explore. It's also fortunate to be supported by
such an enthusiastic production!
There's nostalgia, joy, playfulness, wonder, and, like
an ultimate season, the desire to be reborn once again. »
