“A Magnificent Life”

April 19 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

From visionary THE TRIPLETS OF BELLEVILLE director Sylvain Chomet!

“My characters are alive… they go to the toilets, they poo, they die, they get old. They’re not superheroes.”
— Director Sylvain Chomet

“Chomet is careful to avoid overt melodrama. He’s made a film that’s reverential of a smart, artistic man, but doesn’t place him on too high a pedestal for us to see him.”
— RogerEbert.com

In 1955, 60-year-old Marcel Pagnol is a well-known and acclaimed playwright and filmmaker.

When the editor-in-chief of ELLE magazine commissions a weekly column about Pagnol’s childhood, he sees this as a great opportunity to go back to his artistic roots: writing.

Realizing his memory is failing him and deeply affected by the disappointing results of his last two plays, Pagnol starts doubting his ability to pursue his work.

That is until Little Marcel – the young boy he used to be – appears to him as if by magic. Together, they will explore Marcel Pagnol’s incredible life and bring back to life his most cherished encounters and memories…
