Le Corset film release date

Le Corset, a film directed by Louis Clichy, will be released in theaters starting October 14. The film has already won the Audience Award, Jury Prize, and the Gan Foundation Cinema Award at the Annecy Festival.

Artistic direction of Le Corset

The artistic direction was handled by author Cécile Guillard, who worked with her team using traditional animation techniques based on watercolor and colored inks. The result conveys the beauty of the landscapes of the Beauce region, which serve as the backdrop for the feature film.

Cécile Guillard's previous works

Cécile Guillard has previously published works such as À la frontière du vivant with Cédric Dentant (Futuropolis, 2026), Refuge (Casterman, 2025), and Cent mille ans with Gaspard d'Allens and Pierre Bonneau (La revue dessinée/Seuil, 2020).

Louis Clichy's personal approach

With Le Corset, Louis Clichy ventures into more personal territory, following his co-direction of Astérix — Le Domaine des Dieux (2014) and Astérix — Le Secret de la Potion Magique (2018) with Alexandre Astier. He based the screenplay on his own experience: "I wanted to testify but also to have fun, to make it almost fantastical, as if the corseted body became a portal to the imagination," he explains.
