An amazing, poetic, and musical cinematic journey! A huge bravo to Ingrid Lanzenberg, who brings us into her unsettling universe within the very first moments and keeps us captivated until the end! Bravo to Johan Libéreau and Hanna Novak for the strength and gentleness of their performance, long live “Jules” ! - GABRIELLE LAZURE (ACTRESS)

A new film in Johan’s filmography, “Jules” by Ingrid Lanzenberg, was just screened in Paris and, given its quality and intensity, should enjoy a nice run on the festival circuit. A young woman has multiple sexual encounters in a quest to forget the man she truly loves. She hurts herself to feel alive. Behind this very brief synopsis of the short film, which runs for 11 minutes, hides a naturalist, elliptical production and more importantly, two exceptional actors : the intense Hanna Novak, whose expressions and voice bewitch us and our Johan, who plays the lover from the main character’s past. From his very first moments on screen, he overwhelms us. His director refers to him as “a Stradivarius”, praising “his benevolence, modesty and respect for his partners” in the nude scene – an exercise that is never easy. His one-on-one interaction with Hanna Novak, whom he met only shortly before filming, giveS us fabulous acting duels carried by a similar energy and intensity brought forth from both sides, And all of this set to music by frantic. As you will have gathered by now, this film is a must-see and hopefully marks the beginning of a long collaboration between Ingrid Lanzenberg and the actor she met four years ago through a mutual friend while preparing for “Grand Central” by Rebecca Zlotowski. And remember that last October, Johan took part in reading one of Ingrid’s scripts. To be continued … - Simon chevalier (JOURNALIST) FOR THE JOHAN LIBEREAU FAN PAGE
