Barely a week ago, the second feature film by the talented Rachid Djaïdani was released. Four years after the release of the film Rengaine, which took 9 years to be filmed, edited, and which had earned its director very good reviews and awards, the filmmaker unveils a dramatic comedy with in the title roles: the unique Gérard Depardieu and the young rapper Sadek.
For his first film, the young rapper has proven himself. He, who had become known through free style videos, as well as a mixtape project, in 2012, The Legend of Johnny Niuum, now has the desire to invest a little more in the7th art.
And he starts strong, with one of the main roles, in the film Tour de France. He plays the young rapper Far'Hook who, following a settling of scores, is forced to leave Paris for a while. His producer offers him to take his place by accompanying his father Serge (Depardieu) around the ports of France in the footsteps of the painter Joseph Vernet.Despite the clash of generations and cultures, an unlikely friendship will be forged between this rapper full of promise and this mason from the North of France during a journey that will lead them to Marseille for a final concert, that of reconciliation.
In an interview for the magazine "Première", he explains that he will appear again on the big screen, in the film The Black River by Erick Zonca. A film planned for 2017, where he will play a policeman, alongside Vincent Cassel, Romain Duris and Sandrine Kiberlain.
Will this next film, from the director of The Dream Life of Angels, give Sadek the means to put his gimmick "Niuum" in images, allowing him to exceed at full speed what surrounds him, before our amazed eyes? Will Black River be the second film in a long career for the rapper, like his elder Joey Starr? Will "Le Mektoub" be on his side?
