Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Gaston Lagaffe is Belgium's most beloved slacker, created by Franquin in 1957—this film arrived after decades of failed adaptation attempts.
Roger Miremont spent months practicing Gaston's physical comedy; the original comics had no dialogue, making the spoken adaptation controversial among purists.
