La Vie de Michel Muller est plus belle que la vôtre (2005)
Directed by Michel Muller

Film Synopsis

Michel Muller is a popular comedian who finds that his considerable talents are very much in demand when his one-man show at the Déjazet Theatre in Paris proves to be a runaway success.  Audiences love him, critics love him, and offers of work soon come flooding in his direction.  Film producer Luc Besson is at the head of the queue, with an invitation for Muller to write and direct his own film - an offer that surely no one can refuse!

Unfortunately, Michel isn't used to the celebrity life and he agrees a little too hastily to allow a television film crew to follow him around all day, filming every aspect of his daily existence for a TV documentary.  It is only now that the comedian begins to realise how unimaginably vacuous and unfulfilled his life is.  Fame and success clearly are not what Michel Muller needs to make him happy, so what is it that he really does need?  It is a question that provokes considerable introspection as Michel's reasonably ordered life suddenly starts to become very complicated...
