Marcel et Monsieur Pagnol
In Sylvain Chomet’s animation, Pagnol at 61 appears very close to giving up on his career, so a younger Marcel comes to the rescue.
When asked to write a memoir, Pagnol simply can’t do it - not without the help of hope and optimism personified in the figure of young Marcel.
Like most biopics, the animation pays tribute to its subject, making Pagnol a man at ease with the times, embracing the medium of cinema when his theatre colleagues were too sceptical to try.
From the director of the wonderful ‘Belleville Rendez-Vous’.
‘A gorgeous, decidedly dewy-eyed heritage hagiography’. Screen.
