Hail the Artist
The extraordinary journey of this actor, a leading figure in Italian and European cinema for over three decades, brings us back to the heart of the most demanding auteur cinema, as well as to the most inventive, joyful, and iconic popular films. With a unique sense of style and a casual elegance, he became one of the most accomplished embodiments of the screen actor.
Nicolas is a second-rate actor who hopes one day to get a leading role. In the meantime, he's chasing every little contract he can get, and his love life isn't much better.
Yves Robert
Yves Robert was a French director, screenwriter, actor, and producer. Drawn to cinema early on, 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.
