Comédie-Française (De la Comédie-Française)
Directed by Martin Darondeau and Bertrand Usclat (France, 2026, 72 min.). French with English subtitles.
In this spirited backstage farce, an actress-turned-director faces every theatermaker’s worst nightmare when disaster strikes just hours before the premiere of her production of Macbeth. As actors go missing, tempers flare, props malfunction, and one catastrophe follows another, Nina scrambles to keep the production from unraveling.
Filmed inside the legendary Comédie-Française theater with members of its troupe appearing onscreen, this affectionate comedy offers a whirlwind tour of theatrical chaos where, despite everything, the show must go on.
