Com�die Fran�aise

Running time: 75 mins

Comedy, Drama, Theatre

The Com�die-Fran�aise 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 Cl�ment), 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. With panic setting in and the clock ticking Nina must hold things together at all costs. Will the show go on? France�s hit summer comedy and the runaway winner of four awards at the Alpe d�Huez comedy Film Festival, Com�die Fran�aise is a delicious behind-the-scenes farce which is unafraid to poke fun at the highbrow reputation of French theatre. Featuring a cast of real-life members of the Com�die-Fran�aise company, this is a gleeful, knowing parody and a sheer delight.
