While Incredible but True by Quentin Dupieux is confirmed as a success in the cinema, Alain Chabat is also at the center of films on Prime Video. From RRRrrr!!! at The City of Fear, rediscover the actor in some of his best roles!
The City of Fear
After a remarkable debut on TV, Alain Chabat and the Dummies troupe finally wrote their first feature film in 1994, the direction of which they entrusted to Alain Berbérian: The City of Fear. In this parody that has become oh so cult, a serial killer attacks the projectionists of a B-series horror film in the middle of the Cannes Film Festival. While the police investigation into these mysterious murders is struggling to move forward, the press officer sees it as an opportunity to get people talking about her film…
On the casting side, we find Alain Chabat as the stoic bodyguard of Dominique Farrugia, the very happy star of Red is Dead, as well as a mythical Chantal Lauby as Odile Deray, a desperate impresario. Gérard Darmon portrays a hilarious police commissioner, a bit seductive. What make us want to start a Carioca, even more than 25 years later… And it’s not a bluff!

RRRrrrr !!!
After Didier and Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, Alain Chabat directs RRRrrrr!!! in 2004. Accompanied by the Robins des Bois in the screenplay (Maurice Barthélémy, Marina Foïs, Jean-Paul Rouve, Pierre-François Martin-Laval), the genius of humor gave birth to a feature film as crazy as it is delicious. Present on the screen, this pretty troupe gives the answer to actors such as Gérard Depardieu, Jean Rochefort, Sébastien Thiery, Valérie Lemercier or Dominique Besnehard, all narrated by Olivier Baroux.
More than 35,000 years ago, in the Stone Age, the Clean Hair tribe was enjoying happy times. It is then that an unprecedented event in humanity occurs: a crime. Who is its author? Why did he knock? Who will be his next victim? Between games of doe volleyball and discoveries of moles, we are immersed in the first police investigation in history. All of this, of course, punctuated by lines and scenes that are always just as funny and memorable! “It’s going to be all black…”

The kids
While routine has settled into his life and his couple is on the verge of breaking up, Gilbert meets his daughter’s companion: Thomas. For fear of seeing him make the same mistakes as him, Gilbert encourages his son-in-law to live his youth and thus leads him to savor his carelessness, even if it means falling back into adolescence!
Signed Anthony Marciano, to whom we recently owe the very successful comedy Play, Les Gamins hoists Alain Chabat and Max Boublil to the top of the bill. A shock tandem as hilarious as it is moving, like Sandrine Kiberlain and Mélanie Bernier who embody their respective half. But that’s not all, since guests are also part of the image of Patrick Bruel… or even Iggy Pop! An effective feature film to wish and to rediscover without delay on Prime Video.

Bonus: But who killed Pamela Rose?
His presence in the credits may have escaped you, but Alain Chabat does appear in the comedy But who killed Pamela Rose? Eh yes ! It is he who hides under the features of Peter Mc Gray, the country singer who jabbers his song in (very) approximate English on the stage of the Solid Bar. Yiha!
