“In the beginning there are 14, in the end there are 3000”: the best scene in cinema, according to Kian Khojandi, this is it!

The series became famous thanks to the brief, particularly inventive form and with such effective writing, the French actor and humorist Kian Khojandi (also creator of Bloqués and screenwriter of Serge Le Mito) also made us laugh in the cinema. In a little over 10 years, we have seen him play in such diverse feature films as Nos Futures, Nous trois ou rien, La Folle Histoire de Max et Léon, Au Revoir Là-haut and Le Discours.

“I think it’s one of the best movie scenes I’ve ever seen.”

Directed by Alfonso Cuarón in 2006 and directed by Clive Owen, The Sons of Man follows the journey of a former political activist who is responsible for protecting the world’s first pregnant woman for 18 years in a future where humans no longer arrive. This work of post-apocalyptic and utterly disillusioned science fiction is especially driven by visually stunning scenes, including one written for us by Kian Khojandi:

“I think it’s one of the best movie scenes I’ve ever seen. When I saw it, it hit me in the face. (…). Then the car drives off and it’s over, but now I think everyone has bled the DVD, (…) Everyone turned back to watch this thing happen.”
