“Cinephiles dare everything, And that’s good”, we dare to proclaim. After the Lumière festival in Lyon, it will therefore be the turn of Champo, the prestigious arthouse cinema in the Latin Quarter in Paris, to commemorate the centenary of Michel Audiard. Because, the famous dialogue writer, child of Paname, was born a century ago on May 15, 1920 in the 14th arrondissement, a district of the capital that he will describe and cherish throughout his life.
In order to put the work of the dialogist, which extends through the writing of around a hundred films from 1950 to his death in 1985, into perspective, the Champo has decided to screen 16 films from October 23 to November 3, with a possibility of extension that the cinema management is already considering.
The choice of Champo, which takes over that of the Lumière Festival, is particularly eclectic. Two extremely rare nuggets A love story directed by Pierre Lefranc but also Long Teeth directed by Daniel Gélin will be showing at the rue des Écoles cinema.
Of course the indispensable works of Michel Audiard such as the Tontons gunslingers by Georges Lautner and Jail, which earned Michel Audiard his only César, will be on the program.
For admirers of the gesture of “little cyclist», As Jean Gabin liked to call him affectionately, Sunday November 1st is scheduled at 5:45 pm a signing session with Benoît Denis who has just been released at Actes Sud Michel Audiard – Georges Simenon, a collection of three scenarios commented by the author.
This first analysis of Michel Audiard’s work was made under the aegis of Jacques and Stéphane Audiard (who will be present at the session), his sons and grandson. After this presentation, Blood to the head by Gilles Grangier, with Jean Gabin and Paul Frankeur, will follow this exceptional meeting.
