At the height of his glory, Marcel Pagnol received the commission from the editor -in -chief of the Main Women’s Magazine to write a literary series in which he could tell the story of his childhood, his Provence, his first love story …
When writing the first pages, the child who was once a little Marseille suddenly appears to him. Thus, his memories are driven by all his words: the coming of the cinema, the first main film studio, its attachment to the actors, the experience of writing. The greatest narrator of all time then becomes the hero of his own story.
An essential figure of French literary and cinematic history, a huge Marcel Pagnoli is in the heart of a new feature film, in theaters on October 15: Marcel and Montser Pagnoli.
Throughout his life, it has been revealed by his work, mostly autobiographical: the glory of my father, my mother’s castle, the time of mysteries and the time of love, so many novels that create a cycle of childhood memories are taken from all his human memory.
The essential monuments of French literature, the titles necessary for any library worthy of the name, all of these novels all had their kinematical adaptation. It is impossible, of course, to forget Diptych by Yves Robert (buttons war), but Marcel Pagnol’s work was also adapted to the Great Screen by the Les Choristes in 2022 with the Le Temps des Secrets, as well as in 2006 by Thirery Chabert.
The son of Aubagne and Marseille, who became a true symbol of the Marseille city, also established Marcel Pagnol as the main figure of the 7th art: for the first time the theater attracted, it was quite natural that he turned into a cinema in the 1930s. Restore Le Schpountz, La Fulle Du Puisatier, but also topaze and manon des sources adapted from their own literary work, Marcel Pagnol was one of the most successful filmmakers who was the most productive and vision of the first half of the 20th century.

Recognized for masterpieces such as Les Triplettes de Belleville (2003) and L’Illusyniste (2010), the filmmaker also used his recognizable graphic contact for international films such as the Joker: Folie à Deux (2024) – for which he was also an animated sequence.
And if the animation master chose to adapt paginol, this is not a reason, as he sees an almost graphic style outline that, naturally, is familiar with: “In the seventies, at school, we were asked to read my father’s glory and my mother’s castleHe says. These are the first questions that I remember. I found pagan style affordable, lively and colorful. I found it “well painted”. Pagnol, in his writings, is always fair. He always strikes the right line. This is what I like about his work.”

Thus, under his pencil, Marcel Pagnol returns to his life, in his work, which is distinguished by “pagnolism”: family dramas are combined with humor and irony, the verb verb, reduced to the verb, cycling and singing accents … To make a passionate actor to make a passionate actor. : Laurent Lafitte, Géraldine Pailhas and Thierry Garcia vote, even that means coercion.
”At first I wanted to sayExplains Laurent Lafite. Pagnol is Provence, Marseille. I’m Parisian! Marcel is so many parts that I couldn’t see myself. We have to be accurate about measure the focus. And I needed someone, Marseilles, who was watching.”

”He is a big fan of pagnolSays Silvin Chomet. He was very happy with performing a topic song. He brought the touch. His words are about many. This is very personal. He shares his homeland, Aubagne, Pagnol. He now lives in Paris and, like Marcel Pagnol, has to leave his native south. This will be returned to today’s Marseille in 2025. Pagnol would be happy that the film did not end in 1974 with his death, but it continued on time because he loved modernity.”
