ANIMATION NATION | A MAGNIFICENT LIFE
Marcel et Monsieur Pagnol
Le théâtre
Director: Sylvain Chomet
Cast: Laurent Lafitte, Geraldine Pailhas, Thierry Garcia
Rating: PG
At the height of his glory, Marcel Pagnol receives a commission from the editor-in-chief of a major women’s magazine to write a literary serial, in which he can recount his childhood, his Provence, and his first loves. As he writes the first pages, the child he once was, little Marcel, suddenly comes to life. Thus, his memories resurface through the words: the advent of sound cinema, the first major film studio, his affection for the actors, the experience of writing. The greatest storyteller of all time then becomes the hero of his own story.
90minsThe film Magnificent Life had its world premiere in the Special Screenings section at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. It was also nominated for the Crystal Award (best feature film) at the 2025 Annecy International Animation Film Festival. Marcel Pagnol, one of France’s greatest cultural figures, is brought to life by Laurent Lafitte, BAFTA winner and Emmy nominee, who delivers here a heartfelt portrayal.
