Madame World Tour Continues

After a holdback caused by COVID-19 pandemic, Madame documentary hits the road

Long-awaited French theatrical release with Outplay was launched with great success in Paris on August 26 in presence of filmmaker and producer, Stéphane Riethauser. Since then this moving and intimate family saga has conquered the hearts of French audiences and press alike and it’s planned to be screened at more than 20 locations throughout the country.

With Madame entering the third week in French cinemas, Riethauser wasn’t trying to hide the excitement and gratitude:

“I’m thrilled for the amazing reviews coming from French press. More than 40 articles have been published in the last few days. I am overwhelmed with joy.”
