Agnès Jeancourt (played by Isabelle Huppert) appears in Keep It Quiet. Agnès Jeancourt is Grégoire Jeancourt’s wife, but their relationship is icy after his release from prison. Although she is part of his family life and remains close to the central domestic conflict, the plot indicates that Grégoire cannot improve their communication or overcome his emotional distance from her. Louis Jeancourt (played by Vincent Lindon) appears in Keep It Quiet. Louis Jeancourt is Grégoire Jeancourt’s brother and a famous television presenter. He has a deeply conflict-ridden relationship with Grégoire, intensified by the settlement of their father’s inheritance. During a stormy family gathering, revelations finally bring the brothers closer and allow them to confess their mutual attachment. Stéphanie (played by Vahina Giocante) appears in Keep It Quiet. Stéphanie is Agnès Jeancourt’s hairdresser and belongs to a less privileged social background than Grégoire Jeancourt. Grégoire tries to reach beyond his usual social world through contact with her, but he fails to create a genuine exchange, reinforcing his isolation and inability to connect with others. William (played by Ludovic Bergery) appears in Keep It Quiet. William is a former convict whom Grégoire Jeancourt encounters by chance in Paris. He represents one of Grégoire’s attempts to connect with someone from a less privileged social background. Despite this effort, Grégoire remains unable to establish a meaningful exchange, leaving him a stranger to others and to himself.
