Cavanna, jusqu'Ă l'ultime seconde j'Ă©crirai
Synopsis
A feature-length documentary about François Cavannaâcreator of the publications Charlie Hebdo and Hara-Kiriâwho passed away on January 29, 2014. His influence on several generations of writers, journalists, and comedians is far too little known. While older audiences are aware that he co-founded Hara-Kiri and Charlie Hebdo with Choron, the dozens of books and collections he wrote or contributed to remain largely unfamiliar. People chiefly remember his early autobiographical worksâsuch as *Les Ritals*, *Les Russkoffs*, and *BĂȘte et mĂ©chant*âwhile overlooking his historical novels, encyclopedias, and polemical writings like *Stop crĂšveâŠ* The film draws on interviews with Cavanna conducted shortly before his death, forgotten archival footage, and previously unheard testimonies from figures such as SinĂ©, Willem, Delfeil de Ton, and Sylvie Caster.
