A new film titled Moulin, directed by László Nemes, has been revealed with a trailer showing Gilles Lellouche as Jean Moulin, a central figure in the French Resistance during World War II. The film, which was shown in competition at the Cannes Film Festival in May, is set to be released in French cinemas on October 28, 2026. It follows Moulin's efforts to unite the Resistance under General de Gaulle, his arrest by the Gestapo in Lyon, and his torture by Klaus Barbie, played by Lars Eidinger. The story focuses on the final months of Moulin’s life, particularly his arrest in June 1943 and his confrontation with Barbie. Gilles Lellouche described the role as emotionally intense and challenging, noting the long days and difficult scenes involving torture and confinement. At a press conference during Cannes, Lellouche spoke about the responsibility of portraying Moulin, emphasizing the need to capture the character’s sincerity and personality rather than creating a traditional biography. He also acknowledged the support he received from the film's screenwriter, Olivier Demangel, and director László Nemes. The film's producer, Alain Goldman, explained that the project aimed to explore the broader concept of resistance, rather than simply retelling Moulin’s life story. The screenplay delves into themes of courage, the fight for one's values, and the sacrifices made in the face of adversity. László Nemes, known for his critically acclaimed film Son of Saul, which attracted over 200,000 viewers in France, is directing Moulin. This is not the first time an actor has played Jean Moulin; previous portrayals include Patrice Chéreau, Francis Huster, Charles Berling, and Félix Kysyl in the film The Battle of De Gaulle. The film's presentation at Cannes was marked by controversy when Lellouche avoided a question about the National Rally party during a press conference. He later clarified on Instagram that he does not support any party or ideology that promotes hate, intolerance, or discrimination.
