The rising star who plays him explains how he tackled a very initimate quest<\/p>\n<p>Just six months after the world <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2026\/jan\/29\/paul-dano-quentin-tarantino-comments\">rallied to defend poor Paul Dano<\/a>, vulnerability may now be a hot commodity for an actor. What is \u201cweak sauce\u201d for Quentin Tarantino, who attacked Dano, can be mighty savoury for others. So it\u2019s good timing that Th\u00e9odore Pellerin, with his gangly frame and huge eyes, exudes that quality in the new French character study Nino. Gauche, hesitant and withholding, Pellerin is magnetic as a young Parisian locked out of his apartment for a weekend after a papillomavirus (HPV)-related cancer diagnosis.<\/p>\n<p>Pellerin explains Nino\u2019s predicament, his inability to be candid with his loved ones, almost down to the cellular level. \u201cHis throat cancer isn\u2019t insignificant,\u201d he says. \u201cIt\u2019s the part that links the head to the body. There\u2019s a dissociation from the body \u2013 a distancing of his emotions. And because it comes from a sexually transmitted disease, his sexuality \u2013 a strong life force \u2013 is stunted too. So his mission is to speak and to ejaculate.\u201d Urgently in the case of the latter: Nino must freeze his sperm as his treatment will make him infertile. His odyssey around Paris is the gen Z answer to French New Wave classic <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2010\/apr\/29\/cleo-from-5-to-7-review\">Cl\u00e9o de 5 \u00e0 7<\/a>, which also revolved around a cancer diagnosis.
