Cavanna, jusqu'à l'ultime seconde j'écrirai poster
6.6

A feature-length documentary about François Cavanna—creator of the publications Charlie Hebdo and Hara-Kiri—who passed away on January 29, 2014. His influence on several generations of writers, journalists, and comedians is far too little known. While older audiences are aware that he co-founded Hara-Kiri and Charlie Hebdo with Choron, the dozens of books and collections he wrote or contributed to remain largely unfamiliar. People chiefly remember his early autobiographical works—such as *Les Ritals*, *Les Russkoffs*, and *Bête et méchant*—while overlooking his historical novels, encyclopedias, and polemical writings like *Stop crève…* The film draws on interviews with Cavanna conducted shortly before his death, forgotten archival footage, and previously unheard testimonies from figures such as Siné, Willem, Delfeil de Ton, and Sylvie Caster.

J'ai des doutes : Devos/Morel poster
NR

François Morel-Raymond Devos, Raymond Devos-François Morel, and the loop has come full circle! Because the actor's new creation, Molière 2019, borrows from the illustrious artist the title of one of his famous sketches in which he questions the universe, the madness of existence, the incommunicability with his unequaled talent. Fascinated by this great clown with "a touch of madness capable of blocking the well-oiled mechanics of logic, reality, everyday life", François Morel immersed himself body and soul in his texts to invent a musical show in his homage . Devilishly cheerful! 100 ème représentation au Théâtre de Caen
