When it comes to French comedy, there are many fine characters to choose from. But one stands out above the rest: Louis de Fun\u00e8s. Firstly, because he stands out for his acting, which is stuffed with grimaces and angry outbursts. Secondly, because the cult films in which he plays, under the guise of buffoonery, tell the story of an era. Thirdly, because Monsieur de Fun\u00e8s, in his life, inspires the simple, deserved success of an honest man.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Talking to the people<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Louis de Fun\u00e8s is endearing. And he has every reason to be, but in the eyes of the people. Most critics, at least those of the time, didn't see him as a great cinema figure. On the contrary, this uninteresting clown soiled the French cinematic tradition. At home, Louis de Fun\u00e8s was, and still is, part of the family. Because he toiled to achieve success. And once he'd made it, he never stopped speaking to the people, either by impersonating his tormentor, the mean-spirited, hot-tempered little boss. Or, more rarely, by playing a common man, the smallest of them all, an elderly peasant in a small village. La Soupe aux choux<\/em> (1981), two years before his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
