Description
It's THE book that every film buff with a sense of humor has been waiting for: after Plus Bébél la vie in 2018 about Jean-Paul Belmondo, the editors of cinema magazine So Film have delivered this XXL book, graphic, subtle and full of surprises. From every possible angle, So Film tells the story of over a century of this strange cinematic object that speaks only to us, or almost only to us: the French comedy. On the menu: exclusive interviews at the heart of French comedy - featuring Francis Veber, Michel Hazanavicius, Jean Dujardin, Marina Foïs... portraits of French film legends - Louis de Funès, Coluche, Philippe de Broca, Jacques Villeret... unbelievable stories: saga des Charlots, La Vérité si je mens, La Cité de la Peur, comedy from the Stand-Up... crazy lists (American remake posters!), tops (Moustaches vs Brushings!), quizzes (A Max Pécas or Philippe Garrel film title?), infographics.... With over 250 incredible photos, and a host of previously unpublished ones.
