Release and ~~distribution~~ box office performance of László Nemes film ~~Moulin~~ ‘Mou

Director László Nemes has released ‘Moulin’, a film centered on the final days of Jean Moulin, a prominent leader of the French Resistance during World War II. Rather than a traditional biography, the film focuses on the human elements of Moulin’s experience, portraying him as a man facing the fear of death. The narrative depicts the period surrounding Moulin’s arrest in Caluire in June 1943 and his subsequent imprisonment at Fort Montluc. A central element of the film is the confrontation between Moulin and Klaus Barbie, the head of the Gestapo in Lyon, including the interrogations and torture Moulin endured. The story concludes with Moulin’s death on July 8, 1944, during deportation to Germany. Gilles Lellouche stars as Jean Moulin, while Lars Eidinger portrays Klaus Barbie. The production is a collaboration involving Pitchipoï Productions and TF1. Following its premiere in the competition program at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, ~~a Hungarian-dubbed trailer was released. Hungarian audiences were scheduled to see~~ the film ~~on October 29 during the Budapest International Film Festival (BIFF). The film~~ officially premiered in theaters on Wednesday, October 28, 2026. Since its release, the film has reached the top of the French box office, recording approximately 346,178 admissions. Regarding the production, Gilles Lellouche noted that the role was emotionally taxing, stating it affected him for months due to the intense depiction of psychological and physical torture. Director László Nemes suggested that the cinematic interest in World War II reflects a period of history that France is still processing, particularly regarding the era of totalitarianism and collaboration. The cast also includes Félix Lefebvre as Martin, Moulin’s fellow prisoner, and Louise Bourgoin as the Comtesse de Forez.
