'MILF': Meet Virginie Ledoyen, Axelle Laffont and the rest of the cast of the French movie coming to Netflix
We can never get enough of a good chick flick. Netflix is bringing an exciting one your way on July 16, 2020. 'MILF' follows three childhood friends, Cécile, Sonia and Elise, on their visit to Côte d'Azur to clear the house that one of them has put on sale.
However, the women don't know that they are in for a ride of a lifetime (perhaps quite literally, given the nature of the trailer). The three become preferred targets of three young boys, for whom these single women, approaching their forties, are much more attractive than girls their age. "Getting ready to play, the three friends will gradually become aware of their power of seduction as a MILF."
According to the official synopsis of the movie, "In the south of France, three best friends in their 40s navigate loss and heartbreak while embarking on steamy affairs with much younger men." As promising as the trailer looks, the viewers are likely to embark on a light-hearted, fun journey along with these three BFFs. But before the movie arrives on Netflix, meet the cast.
Virginie Ledoyen as Cécile
Ledoyen plays the role of Cécile. The actress is best known for her breakthrough role in 'A Single Girl', for which she was nominated for a César Award for Most Promising Actress. She also received two César Award nominations for 'Les Marmottes' and 'L'eau Froide'. Her contribution to the film industry was recognized in 2013 when she was named as a member of the jury at the 70th Venice International Film Festival.
The actress has three children. Her first daughter Lila was born in 2001. Her son Isaac and second daughter Amalia, who she shares with fellow actor Arie Elmaleh, were born in 2010 and 2014 respectively.
Marie-Josée Croze as Sonia
Croze was in Denis Villeneuve's 'Maelström', a performance for which she received the award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role at the 21st Genie Awards. For her performance of Nathalie in 'The Barbarian Invasions', she won the award for Best Actress at the 2003 Cannes Film Festival. Her work in 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly' — Julian Schnabel's 2007 adaptation of the Jean-Dominique Bauby's memoir — earned her major global recognition.
She was selected as a member of the main competition jury at the 2012 International Film Festival of Marrakech.
Axelle Laffont as Elise
Laffont dons multiple hats in this project playing not only one of the protagonists but also the director of the movie.
The actress is best known for her work on 'Paulette', 'Daddy Cool', 'Je déteste les enfants des autres', 'A Very Secret Service', 'Nina' and 'Le Grand Journal'. Laffont wears multiple hats in real life too. She is also known for her work in theatre, producing one-woman shows such as 'La Folie du' and 'HyperSensible'. She has co-written and co-produced 'Mariage Surprise'.
