Cécile Kretschmar entirely created the masks for Albert Dupontel movie, who received the César for Best costumes, a work of goldsmithing that is revealed throughout the film as a haute couture collection.

 

it's the story of Edward (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart), a soldier disfigured during the First World War, who masks his serious injury with masks each more original and creative than the last. All reflect the hopes and torments of this artist who, at the heart of the Roaring Twenties, will imagine, with a companion in the trenches (Albert Dupontel), a scam at the war memorial.

 

Cécile Kretschmar's work on masks is known in the entertainment business. She performed in Paris at the Théâtre de la Colline, then at the Odéon, with Luc Bondy.

 

Cécile Kretschmar said “We started working in June 2016. Albert wanted the masks to be beautiful. Edouard, the character of Nahuel Pérez Biscayart did Fine Arts, he is gifted with his hands, he is doing very well so it had to be felt in the masks. "
