"Vegetation Spectacle": Polyamorous Groups, Performers, and Births Take Center Stage at the TIFF Festival"
The upcoming film 'Folichonneries', set to hit theaters in 2026, is a captivating comedy-drama that promises to deliver more than just its titillating premise. Directed, co-written, and starring Éric K. Boulianne, the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival and has been making waves in the industry.
Éric K. Boulianne, along with co-writer Alexandre Auger, has drawn inspiration for the film from his observations of open relationships. The film features a couple comprising of Boulianne, who plays François, and Catherine Chabot as Julie. The duo, who collaborated on the film, delivers a raw and emotional portrayal of a couple grappling with their issues, with "more sex" and "more people" not being the solution to their problems.
The film tackles the theme of depression, offering a nuanced and authentic portrayal of the characters' struggles. It also features a homage to Stanley Kubrick, blending elements from 'Eyes Wide Shut' and 'The Shining' in a unique and intriguing manner.
To ensure safety during intimate scenes, the filmmakers collaborated with an intimacy coordinator, Catherine Therrien. The film also celebrates sexual and bodily diversity, reflecting a commitment to inclusivity.
'Folichonneries' does not aim to be an erotic drama but rather strives for authenticity and sensuality. One particularly gripping scene features the spouses sitting down and telling each other their four truths, a moment that promises to resonate with viewers.
The film was self-financed by Boulianne, with the participation of team members who agreed to be paid later. This commitment to the project's vision, despite financial constraints, underscores the passion and dedication of those involved.
