Veronique Vial Elsa Zylberstein, one of France’s most popular actors, is set to make her directorial debut with “My Best Life.” The film is a comedy-drama inspired by “Mytho du soir,” the viral series of sketches she posted on social media while on lockdown during the pandemic.
Rather than doing a straight adaptation of “Mytho du soir” – in which she played a compulsive fantasist living as though there were no restrictions – organizing dinner parties, going to the hairdresser, flying to New York, heading to the mountains and even interviewing Donald Trump — Zylberstein kept only the central character and co-wrote with Michael Pierrard an entirely new story for “My Best Life.”
