There Are No False Undertakings (French: Il n'y a pas de faux métier) is a Canadian comedy film, directed by Olivier Godin and released in 2020.[1]
The film stars Tatiana Zinga Botao as Marie-Cobra Tremblay, a writer who is working on a screenplay she hopes that Denzel Washington will star in; however, her work is complicated by the disapproval of her ex-husband Rosaire (François-Simon Poirier) and her best friend Mélusine (Leslie Mavangui), Washington's (Fayolle Jean) lack of interest in the project as he is more focused on the goal of getting cast as Angel in a new Buffy the Vampire Slayer reboot, and the discouraging feedback of professional screenwriter Croquette (Éric K. Boulianne).[2]
The film's cast also includes Florence Blain Mbaye, Alexis Martin, Ève Duranceau, Schelby Jean-Baptiste, Jean-Marc Dalpé and Emery Habwineza. Habwineza's character, Ducarmel, appeared in only a minor capacity in There Are No False Undertakings, but was the central character of Godin's next film Ireland Blue Book (Irlande cahier bleu).[3]
The film premiered on October 7, 2020 at the 2020 Festival du nouveau cinéma.[4]
