Films Boutique Acquires ‘Pigskin’ by Philippe Katerine, the Greek God of the Controversial Olympics Ceremony (EXCLUSIVE)


Films Boutique has acquired international sales rights to 'Pigskin' directed by Philippe Katerine who played the Greek God at the Olympics ceremony.

Katerine won the Cesar for best actor in a supporting role in Gilles Lellouche’s box office hit “Le Grand Bain” in 2019. More recently, Katerine played the Greek God Dionysus in the controversial scene which was interpreted by some as a satirical take on Leonardo da Vinci’s religious painting “The Last Supper.” Klein said the journey to make “Pigskin” started in 2003, when he asked Katerine to direct a short film commissioned by Arte called “1km a pied”.
