Our review of Zaï zaï zaï zaï: irresistible cavale de Fabcaro

CRITICISM - François Desagnat adapts with finesse the comic book author's absurd graphic novel. Jean-Paul Rouve is perfect.


It took seven years of reflection before a director dared to tackle the adaptation of Fabcaro's cult graphic novel,
