Art & Culture 10x52'

Masters of Comedy

From their first steps in into the world of cinema to their latest films, through their collaborations with the biggest names in cinema, their great successes but also their failures, ten icons of French-style comedy, look back on their careers and their relationship to cinema.

Each episode portrays a filmmaker who, by reacting to the archive images and film excerpts shown to him, delivers countless shooting anecdotes and humbly recounts his artistic journey.
