Le Brio [3] is a 2017 French comedy film directed by Yvan Attal. [4]
Neïla lives in the Paris suburb Créteil with her mother and grandmother. She enrolls herself into Panthéon-Assas University in the hopes of becoming a lawyer, but meets with public humiliation tainted with racism from the controversial professor Mazard when she arrives late for one of his lectures. The incident finds its way online, and the dean of the law school catches wind of the incident and steps in, only to task the professor, as a means to make amends, to mentor Neïla for an upcoming debating/public speaking contest. Although Neïla finds Mazard cynical and exacting, she learns from him, and both of them have to overcome their prejudices during the course of working together.
The film was shot in Paris, at Panthéon-Assas University, Nanterre University, the Sorbonne and the Sainte-Geneviève Library in the 5th arrondissement. The scenes in the Paris métro where Neïla has to talk to indifferent passengers were filmed on the 3bis metro line. [5]
