Watch A Magnificent Life

At the height of his fame, Marcel Pagnol receives a commission from the editor-in-chief of a major women's magazine to write a literary serial, in which he can recount his childhood, his Provence, his first loves... As he begins writing the first pages, the child he once was-little Marcel-suddenly appears to him. Thus, his memories resurface as the words flow: the arrival of talkies, the first major film studio, his attachment to actors, the experience of writing. The greatest storyteller of all time becomes the hero of his own story. With stunning animation, the acclaimed director of The Triplets of Bellville - Sylvain Chomet -brings to life the story of the greatest storyteller.
