We've got an exclusive first-look clip from Sex Education star Emma Mackey's French-language debut in Eiffel.
Inspired by true events, the movie sees Mackey play Adrienne Bourgès in a fictionalised tale of her romance with Gustave Eiffel (Romain Duris) and how she inspired his most iconic work: the Eiffel Tower.
The clip, which you can watch above, sees Adrienne subtly show Gustave the acceptable way to eat breakfast in French high society, before she hints to her father to give Gustave more wood for scaffolding to stop his men falling in the river.
If that's whet your appetite, Eiffel will be released in UK and Irish cinemas next Friday (August 12) through Vertigo Releasing. Très bon.
Mackey, who is half-French, told Screen International in 2019 that it was always a "big old dream" to go back to her "roots" with a French-language movie.
"It was inevitable I would work in France at some point so I thought why not with this?," she continued.
"Playing Maeve has given me more confidence in myself. In terms of the choices I make now in my career, I'm actively going for the things that are worthwhile. I'm not going to go after characters which are secondary or don’t have their own narrative or personality.
"I think Adrienne is the perfect example of a woman who is ahead of her time and is her own person and her own entity."
Following the release of Eiffel, Mackey will be seen later this year in Emily, before appearing in the much-anticipated Barbie movie in 2023. In July 2022, she seemed to confirm a rumour about Barbie that it'll feature multiple Barbies and Kens.
"Right in the beginning, we had a sleepover for the Barbies, which would involve playing games with Scott Evans and Ncuti [Gatwa]," she revealed.
Eiffel is released in UK and Irish cinemas on August 12.
