Anthony is a struggling handyman who lives in a working-class housing project.\u00a0 Spoiled rich kid Gr\u00e9goire has studied at Berkeley and Oxford and has now returned to his hometown of Angoul\u00eame to run for public office. To everyone’s great surprise, the two young men, who couldn’t possibly be more different, turn out to have identical DNA profiles… In fact, they’re twins! No one is more surprised by that news than the twins themselves. Oh, and by the way, Anthony is Black and Gr\u00e9goire is white.\u00a0 It’s a genetic phenomenon with a one-in-a-million chance of occurring. Once they get past the initial shock… how can they begin to deal with such a situation?\u00a0 How could this have even happened? Two of a Kind<\/i><\/b> and its two engaging leads take that high-concept premise, breathe life into it and take us on an amusing, and ultimately quite moving, ride… one that actually leads to becoming a true family.<\/p>\n

Olivier Ducray<\/b> began his career in program acquisitions for the Com\u00e9die channel, and worked as a film programmer for Mars Distribution and Studio Canal. He has written and directed four short films since 2011, including <\/span>Mustang Sally<\/span><\/i> (2014), which won the 48 Hour Film Project in Geneva. He co-wrote Ludovic Bernard’s comedy feature, <\/span>The Climb<\/span><\/i> (2017), which won the Grand Prize and the Audience Award at the Alpe d’Huez Comedy Film Festival. Ducray also directed two documentary features, <\/span>La Vie des gens<\/span><\/i> (2015) and <\/span>Derniers jours d’un m\u00e9decin de campagne<\/span><\/i> (2019). <\/span>Wilfried M\u00e9ance<\/b> wrote and directed seven short films on his own, several of them selected at COLCOA, before teaming up with Ducray to co-write and co-direct their last short, <\/span>Mon p\u2019tit Bernard<\/span><\/i> (2019). <\/span>Two of a Kind<\/i><\/b> is their first narrative feature and it brings together two very talented up-and-coming actors on the French scene: Ahmed Sylla, who also appears in this year’s festival line-up in L\u00e9onor Serraile’s <\/span>Mother and Sons<\/span><\/i>, and actor\/comedian Bertrand Usclat. <\/span>Two of a Kind<\/span><\/i> won the Audience Award at this year’s Alpe d’Huez International Comedy Film Festival and was released in France on September 28.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/jumeaux-mais-pas-trop-affiche.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
