Isabelle Nanty is back with the much-anticipated fifth installment of the beloved 'Tuche' film franchise, titled 'God Save the Tuche'. Set to release on February 5, 2025, the film brings back the beloved characters and their hilariously chaotic lives, drawing millions of fans who have embraced the Tuche family over the years.
During recent television appearances, including one on RTL, Nanty, who plays the iconic Cathy Tuche, opened up about the secrets behind the film's charm and the filming process itself. Alluding to the success of the previous four films, which boasted over 2.4 million admissions according to AlloCiné, Nanty highlighted how the Tuche family resonates with the everyday person.
"The fact of playing characters who don’t have social status... just people who live together well and respect one another is the key to their appeal," Nanty stated during her interview. This sentiment echoes throughout the Tuche franchise, which has capitalized on the humor found in normalcy and family values, free from the trappings of societal success and judgment.
Jean-Paul Rouve, the director of 'God Save the Tuche', also weighed in on what makes the Tuche family so special, stating, "The Tuche are hyper punk, irreverent with the powerful, and we’d all like to be a bit like them." This sense of irreverence and authenticity has created a strong bond between the characters and their audience, propelling them to cult status.
But Nanty’s insights didn’t end there. She humorously addressed one of the series’ catchphrases, famously known among fans as "Des frites, des frites, des frites" — the constant chant reflecting their northern French origins. Contrary to what many may assume, she revealed, "It’s purely cinematographic. At the end of the shooting, we don't have any nostalgia for fries; I never eat them!" she laughed, adding, "The fries you see in the movie are never good. They are made in the morning and served cold all the time when we reshoot scenes." This confession sheds light on the film-making magic behind the scenes and sets the stage for what viewers can expect from the latest adventure with the Tuche family.
The excitement builds not only due to the humor and relatability but also because of the community and pop culture references embedded within the films. Just ahead of each release, fans share videos and compilations of their favorite quotes and moments, ensuring the Tuche legacy continues to thrive even when the screen fades to black.
With the latest installment, 'God Save the Tuche', viewers can expect more unforgettable moments and hilarious situations reflecting the lives of everyday French citizens. This continuation of the Tuche story not only promises laughter but offers commentary on social dynamics, showcasing how even the most unusual families can find joy and fulfillment together.
Isabelle Nanty and her co-stars are thrilled to bring viewers back to the delightful and absurd world of the Tuche. The fervor surrounding the film’s release exemplifies the deep connection fans feel with these characters. Nanty’s candid insights and the film's engaging premise keep audiences eager for its premiere, emphasizing the balance of laughter and relatability the series has become known for.
Get ready to see how the Tuche family continues to navigate life’s challenges and celebrate their unique approach to happiness, coming to theaters this February!
