Raphaël Benoliel is one of the key figures connecting Hollywood and France.
From Mission Impossible to Midnight in Paris, from The Crown to Emily in Paris, he has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry — helping bring international productions to French soil.
In this episode of A la Française, he shares the untold story of how Mission Impossible was almost cancelled just weeks before filming, what makes France so attractive to Hollywood, and why Paris continues to fascinate the world.
We also dive into the cultural differences between French and American film crews, the global success of Emily in Paris, and the idea of Paris as a “fantasy” sold to the world.
A rare behind-the-scenes look at cinema, culture, and the power of the French image.
