The French have loved him so much. 😢
Utmost sadness to learn about the passing of cult actor Michel Blanc at the age of 72.
The irresistible comic superstar of his early acting years, along with cult troupe Le Splendid, had become, with time and age, an actor of great depth, playing many dramatic roles for revered directors such as Bertrand Blier, Pierre Schoeller, Peter Greenaway, André Téchiné, Claude Berri or Patrice Leconte.
He has won two awards at the #CannesFilmFestival : Best Actor for #BertrandBlier's "Tenue de soirée" in 1986 and Best Screenplay for "Grosse fatigue" (one of the 5 features films he directed) in 1994.
Michel Blanc also gathered 7 nominations at the #CesarAwards, and won the Cesar Award of Best Supporting actor in Pierre Schoeller's "The Minister".
He will be forever missed. 🖤 ... See MoreSee Less

*** #tafffcinema *** OW PLAYING IN US THEATRES (OPENING THIS WEEKEND IN LOS ANGELES) THE MULTI AWARDED FRENCH-AMERICAN DOCUMENTARY "KING OF KINGS", a biopic, history written by Harriet Marin Jones, Giles Gardner, Michel Fessler. Directed by Harriet Marin Jones. Official selections Chicago International Film Festival 2023, Atlanta Film Festival 2023, San Diego International Film Festival 2024. Official Selection TAFFF 2023. In English and in French with English subtitles. A Freestyle Digital Media release. Opening in US theatres on September 20, followed by a digital release in November.
.
(Director Harriet Marin Jones takes an in-depth look at the life and legacy of her grandfather, Edward Jones, a charismatic African-American who rose to the heights of financial and political prominence in Depression-era Chicago, to become one of the richest men in America, before falling into complete oblivion. Building a multi-million-dollar empire as the brains and brawn behind “Policy” — the illegal numbers racket and precursor of today’s state lottery — the “Policy King” went head-to-head with Al Capone’s “Outfit”, while hobnobbing with celebrated artists like Josephine Baker, Frida Kahlo and Duke Ellington. Edward Jones shaped the destiny of a city, yet could not escape the color of his skin in America. In exploring her own family roots with many Chicagoans who knew him (including composer Quincy Jones, the film’s executive producer), the filmmaker uncovers yet another dazzling forgotten episode in Black American History.)

A FAMILY, written and directed by Christine Angot. A cinematographic journey challenging social norms and family perspectives in dealing with incest.

MY WAY, written and directed by Thierry Teston and Lisa Azuelos. A compelling voyage to the heart of an iconic French-American song that explores the timeless classic's universal appeal and long-lasting legacy, from 1967 to the present, recounting, deconstructing, and paying homage to a tune that has been recorded 1,278 times by 714 artists in 163 languages, and is the number one most-requested song in karaoke bars worldwide.

ONCE UPON A TIME MICHEL LEGRAND, Written and directed by David Herzog-Dessites. Discover the journey of Michel Legrand, a man who left an indelible mark on both music and world cinema. Brimming with endless up-close-and-personal moments with the composer himself and interviews with countless collaborators, the film is an intimate portrait of a genuine maestro.

TEHACHAPI, written and directed by JR. This time, JR’s joint subject/canvas is the Tehachapi maximum security prison in Southern California. The idea was simply to photograph a group of inmates, create a monumental photo collage, and paste it on the ground of the prison courtyard, where it would remain for just a few days. Yet, in the process, so much more happened.

THE MAN WITH A THOUSAND FACES, written and directed by Sonia Kronlund. His name is Alexandre, Ricardo, Daniel… He claims to be a surgeon, an engineer, from Argentina, from Brazil... And he lives with at least four different women simultaneously — women literally scattered across the planet.

The documentary program is presented in association with The Bureau, Mediawan, mk2 films, Pyramide International, AmaWaterways, and Titrafilm.
