Film "The French Comedy"

The film "A Comédia Francesa" explores the history of the world's oldest active theater company, Comédie-Française. Directed by Martin Darondeau and Bertrand Usclat, the screenplay was developed during an artistic residency in Porto. The filmmakers based the story on real events related to the French theater company, infusing it with comedic elements. The cast consists entirely of members from the troupe, and filming took place at La Comédie-Française theater, which has been operating since 1680 in central Paris. Darondeau aimed to honor those who have contributed to the theater's enduring legacy.
