Olivia Gayet, known for her work as a producer, steps behind the camera for the first time with Entre Deux, a drama that premiered in Belgian cinemas on May 11, 2026. The film centers on the quiet tensions and unspoken connections within a family, set against the backdrop of a rural Belgian village. Gayet's approach is intimate, using long takes and natural light to create a sense of immediacy.
The cast is a mix of fresh faces and seasoned performers. Melchior Lamote, who plays the eldest son, previously worked with Gayet on a short film. Marguerite François, in her feature debut, brings a raw vulnerability to the role of the youngest daughter. Did you know that Gayet cast real-life siblings Suzanne Malckiewicz and Amy Georges to play the two middle children, adding an authentic sibling dynamic to the screen?
Behind the scenes, Gayet collaborated closely with cinematographer Léa Crépon, who used a handheld camera to capture the characters' emotional shifts. The film's score, composed by Belgian musician Jérôme Lejeune, features a haunting piano motif that underscores the film's themes of loss and connection. Entre Deux is a quiet gem that rewards patient viewers.
