Comedy is one of the delicious courses of French cinema in recent years. There are those built to be successful on the international market, such as Intouchables, and others with a more exquisite European breath and good feelings, such as La Famille Bélier, Médecin de campagne, and even the amusing genre contamination of the agent 117 series and The Mistery of Henry Pick, variations around spy story and literary thriller.
La Comédie-Francaise, the public theater with its permanent company has trained generations of talents on the art of comic timing and the physicality of comedy, as well as the importance of producing sincere and moving emotions.
