For his next film, “Finalement” (“Finally”), French director Claude Lelouch places his characters at the heart of a fashion show. The collection in question belongs to Parisian couturier Stéphane Rolland, who reveals his haute couture 2023/2024 winter offering on the grand staircase of the Paris Opera. The event pays homage to opera icon Maria Callas, and recreates the star’s “grande nuit de l’Opéra” that took place there in 1958. Lelouch’s actors, who perform in the midst of a live, real-world fashion show, only have one chance to get it right.
