Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
De Caunes essentially invented the ironic, self-aware TV presenter format that would later dominate globally — think early Conan O'Brien but with more cigarettes and existentialism.
The documentary's runtime matches De Caunes' infamous 1993 Canal+ New Year's Eve broadcast that ran disastrously over schedule — a deliberate wink from the directors.
