De la Comédie-Française
At the Comédie-Française, the show must go on. But three hours before Nina's directorial debut, chaos erupts. France’s major summer comedy hit hits the UK screens.
The Comédie-Française is one of France’s most revered arts institutions, and the oldest still-performing theatre company in the world. There is one golden rule: the play is NEVER cancelled. Unfortunately for theatre producer Nina (Pauline Clément), everything is unravelling just three hours before the premiere of her first production – an ambitious retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Her lead actor is stuck on a train, tensions are exploding, passions flaring, equipment breaking down and egos are clashing. This is a hilarious comedy on the theatre which set the French box office alight in July. And at a breezy 75 minutes, this may be the perfect film to get you in the mood for our upcoming French Film Festival in November and December. (Subtitles)
