It was hard to imagine a more fitting setting. An iconic Parisian cinema venue founded by Claude Lelouch, Club 13 welcomed around 80 guests for a private screening of Masterplan, starring Victor Belmondo alongside Stanley Tucci and Simona Tabasco. Produced by Gaumont and Amazon, the film was shot between France and Italy and marks Prime Video’s first Franco-Italian original film. A connection between the two countries that echoes the shared heritage of the actor and the Maison.

The occasion held particular significance for Victor Belmondo, who currently fronts Berluti’s institutional campaign and has developed a close relationship with the Maison through a series of projects and encounters. As the fourth generation of his family to wear Berluti shoes, his connection to the Maison also spans generations. This time, the gathering centred on a world particularly close to him: cinema.

After the screening, the evening continued with a taste of Italy, as the chef of Racine restaurant prepared a pasta party for the guests. Cacio e pepe, amatriciana and arrabbiata brought classic Italian flavours to the table in a relaxed and convivial atmosphere. A nod to both the film’s French and Italian setting and the Italian roots shared by Berluti and Victor Belmondo. A fitting way to mark an important moment in the actor’s career, with the simple pleasure of bringing friends together around good food.
