The Big Hit
Un triomphe
2020 France 105 min N-13
Added to my films
Etienne, an often out of work but endearing actor, runs a theatre workshop in a prison, where he brings together an unlikely group of inmates to stage Samuel Beckett’s “Waiting for Godot”. When he takes the colourful troupe of convicts on tour outside of prison, Etienne finally has the chance to thrive. A unique relationship develops between the actors and their director. Will the final performance in Paris be their biggest success?

“An uplifting comedy inspired by true events, the film tells a heart-wrenching story in a playful way, engaging the viewers while also making them laugh. Jam-packed with talent that is the beating heart of the film, “The Big Hit” won’t leave anyone indifferent thanks to a memorable lead performance by Kad Merad, achieved brilliantly in the company of his troops.” (Marija Fridinovaitė)
