well, what can i say when i grew up with this mini TV series. It made my days when i was 9 or ten, discovering music and films at the same time. pretending i was Hortense Schneider for days. I don't know though if it would still be that nice to watch. But it sure was a really good moment of french television. Ah Michel Serrault! Ah Catherine Samie! All those sub stories behind creation. How things were made in the theater. How actresses were silly and pretentious! And Michel Serrault's German accent! I still laugh out loud just thinking about it. As far as i remember those were days of good, interesting french mini TV series (La Porteuse De Pain, Nana to name a few). Where are we now ? Oh yes: Julie Lescaut!

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
