Every day, AlloCiné recommends a film to (re)watch on TV. Tonight: a funny and endearing road movie with irresistible actors.
In the midst of professional and romantic failure, Ben, who dreamed of becoming a comedian in New York, is back in Paris. He meets Alex, star presenter of the Breakfast Club, the Morning Star of the radio, with whom they will set off to win back their audience on the roads of France.
This pitch is for Radiostars, an excellent comedy released in theaters in 2012 and unjustly forgotten. Broadcast this Tuesday evening on TFX, this feature film led by Manu Payet, Clovis Cornillac and a beginner Benjamin Lavernhe will give you an excellent moment of relaxation. We bet?
Best Comedy Award at the Alpe d’Huez Festival, Radiostars is a real treat. Original, full of energy and tasty dialogues, this very funny and very endearing buddy movie will boost your week! The references of the director Romain Levy and his screenwriter Mathieu Oullion for this pure feel-good movie? Almost Famous by Cameron Crowe, but also The Graduate, for its atmosphere, Garden State, for its tone, and of course the radio movie par excellence, Good Morning, Vietnam led by Robin Williams! We’ve seen worse…
Manu Payet advises Clovis Cornillac
To help Clovis Cornillac to embody his role as radio host as accurately as possible, Manu Payetwho was one before becoming an actor, gave him some very valuable advice: every presenter loves to hear his voice in the headset! Cornillac So he played all his scenes with his own voice coming back into his ears, and the construction of his character then seemed clearer to him!
Finally, let us note that in order to ensure that the group of characters of Radiostars appear credible on screen, all the actors traveled in the same minibus for the entire duration of filming! The promiscuity and long journeys thus helped to strengthen the bonds between the actors. Ready for a road movie with this delightful gang?
Tonight on TFX at 10:45 p.m.
