Marinette is a 2023 French biographical sports drama film written, produced and directed by Virginie Verrier. The film stars Garance Marillier as Marinette Pichon, a pioneer of French women's football. It is based on Pichon's 2018 autobiography Ne jamais rien lâcher. It was theatrically released in France on 7 June 2023.

Production

A biographical film project on Marinette Pichon, presented as "the portrait of a girl from a working-class background with nothing to predestine her to this extraordinary career", was first revealed in early 2022. The director-screenwriter Virginie Verrier admitted being partly inspired by the feature film I, Tonya (2017) about the American figure skater Tonya Harding.

The first actress Verrier sent the script to was Garance Marillier, who accepted the offer immediately. Before being cast in the film, Marillier had been playing football for many years. Verrier had considered casting either a professional footballer who could be "taught to act" or a "sporty actress who could be taught to play football".

The film was produced by Verrier through her own company Vigo Films in co-production with France 3 Cinéma and Beside Films, with the participation of Canal+, Ciné+, France Télévisions and Pictanovo, with the support of the Hauts-de-France region and the Somme department. When production began, the film was said to have a total budget of 5.5 million euros, which was later reported to be 7 million euros.

Principal photography began in Abbeville on 31 January 2022. Filming took place primarily in the Somme department: in Abbeville, Albert, Villers-Bretonneux and Montdidier. Additional filming took place in Valenciennes (Nord), Le Touquet (Pas-de-Calais) and in the Île-de-France region. Filming was originally planned to take place in Philadelphia, but according to Verrier it "logistically simpler to stay in France".
