Cinema Wednesdays - Jonas Follonier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Le Monde<\/em> and T\u00e9l\u00e9rama<\/em> had a field day. Michel Denisot's first film would be heavy-handed, piling on the clich\u00e9s and saying nothing of substance. Faced with the excellence of Any resemblance...,<\/em> we think that the French \"bobo\" press is perhaps jealous of a journalist who has made his career at Canal+ and TF1 and who has the courage - or quite simply the pleasure - to try his hand at cinema one fine day, with a simple, popular and devilishly successful formula.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It's the story of a television star who became a household name when he took over as presenter of the 8:00 news program during the 2001 terrorist attacks. A man who burns with ambition, tactics and, above all, charm, and whom nothing and no-one - especially not the channel's boss - will be able to get rid of, because he's got them by the scruff of the neck. Visit star<\/em> makes ratings, lots of ratings. Unfortunately for him, money is the beginning of all possibilities: a little plastic surgery to maintain his image in the literal sense, a little drugs to have fun in his buddy's gay clubs with the Minister of Culture, and a little drugs to drown the fish and show his wife a clean bill of health. The result is a power struggle and, above all, a dramatic family crisis, set against the backdrop of the show business<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
