Watching the movie «Le Magnifique»

Another screening from PostArt!

This time it is dedicated to the memory of Jean-Paul Belmondo! We will watch the movie «Le Magnifique».

 Year: 1973 

Genre: comedy

 Director: Philippe de Brock 

Starring: Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jacqueline Bisset. Belmondo and director Philippe de Brock decided to make fun of «Bondian», and at the same time the usual roles of the actor.

The character of Belmondo in the film is witty and sensitive, and we want to remember him that way. Join us!
