We are very proud to support a project led by tremendous actors and bolstered by a team of immense professionals – a team in which, with the CANAL+ Group, we strongly believe. We are dazzled by such a success, and it is proof that the public is there and comes to theatres when they feel like it. It is up to us, professionals, to know how to offer great films. And « NOVEMBER » is one of them!”
