Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Fiertés premiered on Arte in 2018, exactly five years after France legalized same-sex marriage—a timing that made its historical scope feel urgently contemporary.
Director Philippe Faucon specifically cast Stanislas Nordey (Serge) because his own father, author Jean-Jacques Brochier, was a prominent gay intellectual who died of AIDS—layering the role with unspoken autobiography.
