La Vie de Michel Muller est plus belle que la vôtre (2005) Directed by Michel Muller
Comedy
Film Synopsis
Michel Muller is a popular comedian who finds that his considerable talents
are very much in demand when his one-man show at the Déjazet Theatre
in Paris proves to be a runaway success. Audiences love him, critics
love him, and offers of work soon come flooding in his direction. Film
producer Luc Besson is at the head of the queue, with an invitation for Muller
to write and direct his own film - an offer that surely no one can refuse!
Unfortunately, Michel isn't used to the celebrity life and he agrees a little
too hastily to allow a television film crew to follow him around all day,
filming every aspect of his daily existence for a TV documentary. It
is only now that the comedian begins to realise how unimaginably vacuous
and unfulfilled his life is. Fame and success clearly are not what
Michel Muller needs to make him happy, so what is it that he really does
need? It is a question that provokes considerable introspection as
Michel's reasonably ordered life suddenly starts to become very complicated...

The best French war films ever made
For a nation that was badly scarred by both World Wars, is it so surprising that some of the most profound and poignant war films were made in France?
From Jean Renoir to François Truffaut, French cinema has no shortage of truly great filmmakers, each bringing a unique approach to the art of filmmaking.
American film comedy had its heyday in the 1920s and '30s, but it remains an important genre and has given American cinema some of its enduring classics.
