‘Comedy remains seen as a subculture’: Artus recalls Un P’tit truc en plus reception at Cannes, biggest box office of the year.

Released on May 1st, Un p’tit truc en plus is the biggest success of the year at the French box office, with no less than 10.7 million releases, allowing Artus’ film to even debut in the top ten French comedies. All-time, behind only Le Corniaud and his 11.7 million hits.

The actor-director was the subject of a portrait in the newspaper Libération, titled Arthur, a little too nervousWhile he’s rolling out his latest A one man show. The opportunity to return exactly to the Cannes acceptance of his film, without any cuts, denounced the hypocrisy of the film sector towards comedy in France. A presentation that was not planned and which caused a lot of backlash, especially because the luxury brands refused to dress the actors and actresses until a solution was finally found.

“We saw that we were pissing everyone off.”

“The film already had five million views when Thierry Fremaux was still figuring out which gang Artus was. We clearly saw that we were pissing everyone off, in the context of comedy being seen as a subculture, which led to hypocrisy. When popularity reaches a point where it can no longer be ignored” He was confused. “Criticism would not have been the same if the film had been signed Vincent Dedien or Panayiot’s Pascoewho has a card. That’s right.”

And to add, just to drive the point a little further: “I’m watching that too Louis de FunesIt was celebrated forty years after his death in the former City Hall of the intelligentsia, in Kinomatheka. Just as I predict the ‘cult’ status of the Fife Gang in fifteen years.”

Controversy has not been long for Louis de Funes. See you in 15 years for the future cult status of the group led by Philippe Lachaux.
