Pierre Richard, 91, Unveils L’homme Qui a Vu l’Ours Qui a Vu l’Homme in Theaters Wednesday

The ninth feature signals a late-career return with a personal project shot in Gruissan.

Overview

  • TF1 reports the film opens in French cinemas this Wednesday.
  • Richard directs and stars, his ninth outing in both roles, arriving 55 years after his debut feature Le Distrait.
  • The story follows a dreamer former billionaire and a young autistic man determined to hide a bear that escaped a zoo.
  • A TF1 crew visited the shoot in Gruissan, where Richard has kept a house and vineyards for more than 40 years.
  • Richard describes the film as perhaps his craziest yet, saying he feared not finding a producer before securing one he calls equally daring.
