Trained for the Image trades, Lucas Bernard has notably turned as assistant operator with Coline Serreau or Tonie Marshall, and as a cinematographer with René Féret. He also collaborated on several scenarios and wrote a novel (LES LACETS ROUGES, published in Le Seuil). In 2014, he went on to direct with the short film LA PLACE DU MORT. UN BEAU VOYOU is his first feature film.
Lucas Bernard had in mind a thief who was passing through the roofs. He would have worked in a fairly "old school" way, without an accomplice, without a mobile phone, below the radar field of the police.
Paris is clearly one of the characters of A beautiful thug (Un beau voyou). Lucas Bernard took a lot of fun filming his rooftops and streets, and his different neighborhoods.
The shooting of A beautiful thug (Un beau voyou) happened at the same time as that of Mission Impossible Fallout, which caused some problems for the production.
