A Magnificent Life(Marcel et Monsieur Pagnol)

  • Dir: Sylvain Chomet

  • France/Luxembourg/Belgium, 2025, French, 90mins, DCP

  • Cast: (Voice Cast) Laurent Lafitte, Géraldine Pailhas

In the latest film from Sylvain Chomet (Les Triplettes de Belleville), the French animator dramatises the events that lead Marcel Pagnol – an acclaimed playwright and filmmaker by the age of 60 – to return to prose writing, and what would lead to the publication of his quartet of autobiographical novels Souvenirs d’enfance by 1957. Crisscrossing through time with the help of ‘Petit Marcel’ – a vision of his childhood self, guiding him through his own memories – Chomet’s film is a powerful evocation of the 20th century in France and of one of its true creative geniuses.
