Synopsis

But what’s going on, Michel? I have no idea, Carole! I have no idea! Michel Blanc has good reason to be neurotic: instead of being asked for autographs, he keeps getting slapped and clobbered. He gets insulted. He gets arrested. Celebrity becomes a nightmare. Thanks to the calamitous helping hand of Carole Bouquet, he ends up understanding everything…and realizes that his nightmare has only just begun. All hell breaks loose, and Michel Blanc finds himself in double trouble… –Cannes Film Festival

Director

Michel Blanc

Michel Blanc (born 16 April 1952 in Courbevoie, France) is a French actor and director who is noted for his roles of losers and hypochondriacs. He is frequently associated with the Splendid group, which he co-founded, along with Thierry Lhermitte, Josiane Balasko, Christian Clavier and Gérard Jugnot.

Michel Blanc has also shown his versatility by appearing in more serious roles, such as the title role in the Patrice Leconte film Monsieur Hire. —Wikipedia
