French Film Club: Le Petit Nicolas – Qu’est-ce qu’on attend pour être heureux? qu’on attend pour être heureux?
The French Film Club is an invitation to discover the best of Francophone and French cinema. Screenings of exclusive French-language films (with English subtitles) take place once a month and are free and open to all. Join us and Alliance Française de Manchester for this month’s film, ‘Le Petit Nicolas – Qu’est-ce qu’on attend pour être heureux?’, by Amandine Fredon and Benjamin Massoubre (2022, Animated movie, 1h26)
Sketched on a large white sheet somewhere between Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Jean-Jacques Sempé and René Goscinny bring to life a cheerful, mischievous little boy: le Petit Nicolas. Between friendship, quarrels, scuffles, games, mischief, and punishments galore, Nicolas experiences a childhood full of joy and learning. As the story unfolds, the boy slips into his creators’ studio and amusingly calls out to them. Sempé and Goscinny tell him about how they met, their friendship, but also their careers, their secrets, and their own childhood.
These free screenings are offered with the support of the Institut Français. Unless otherwise indicated, all Alliance Française de Manchester cultural events are open and accessible to everyone.
