Robin Campillo on Finishing Laurent Cantet's 'Enzo'

Laurent Cantet and Robin Campillo, whose friendship began during student days, collaborated on "Enzo," a film that explored themes of class and sexual fluidity through the story of a privileged young man rejecting societal expectations. Cantet, battling cancer, kept the project alive until his death in April 2024, with Campillo directing it as a passion project. The film features a cast of first-time actors and delves into themes of identity, resistance, and desire, reflecting on their deep creative partnership. Campillo honors Cantet's influence, noting that "Enzo" captures the essence of their mutual passion for storytelling while avoiding tribute vibes.
