☞ DETAILS:

Enjoy a Premiere screening of UN TRIOMPHE with English subtitles as part of the Télérama Premiere Film Festival! Inscribed with intelligence and humour, THE BIG HIT was named Best Comedy of 2020 at this year’s European Film Awards. It’s an empathetic and hugely entertaining celebration of camaraderie, and the liberating power of art.

☞THE MOVIE:

Etienne, an often out of work but endearing actor, runs a theater workshop in a prison, where he brings  together an unlikely troupe of prisoners to stage Samuel Beckett’s famous play Waiting for Godot. When he is allowed to take the colorful band of convicts on a tour outside of prison, Etienne finally has the chance to thrive.

Each date is a new success and a unique relationship grows between this ad hoc group of  actors and their director. But soon comes the final performance in Paris.

Will their last night together be the biggest hit of them all? – Synopsis

« As well as depth of feeling, The Big Hit offers a good deal of clever comedy. And it manages all this with subtlety, lightheartedness, and great pacing.

A feel-good movie with broad audience appeal, Emmanuel Courcol’s The Big Hit is sure to be a festival big hit, one to laugh over later as well as to appreciate for its humane depiction of the difficulties that can land people in prison and those that follow them in there. And who knew that Waiting for Godot could be so captivating? » Alliance Française French Film Festival
