Synopsis

The adventures of a child full of imagination and mischief in an adult world. A film full of verve and gags.

Bebert and the Train
This funny, fast-paced, joyful, and endearing film by Yves Robert will appeal to all dreamy, imaginative children who see the world as an endless source of wonder and adventure, as well as to their parents. The adorable Martin Lartigue, who already stole the show in the filmmaker's previous film, La guerre des boutons, plays the title role.

Yves Robert

Yves Robert was a French director, screenwriter, actor, and producer. Drawn to cinema, he landed his first major role thanks to Marcel Carné and went on to act in over 50 films, consistently demonstrating his talent as an actor. His interest then shifted to directing, and in 1951, he made his first short film with Claude Sautet as his assistant. He later directed Ni vu, ni connu in 1958, one of the earliest films to showcase Louis de Funès in a leading role. He quickly became a celebrated figure in French comedy, both critically and commercially. His 1961 film, La guerre des boutons, won the Prix Jean-Vigo, while Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire and Un éléphant ça trompe énormément brought him international acclaim. His adaptations of La gloire de mon père and Le château de ma mère achieved enormous success in France and abroad. In 1977, Nous irons tous au paradis was nominated for the César Award for Best Film.
