About Alouqa or the Comedy of the Dead
Thanks to his gifts of clairvoyance, the son of a former servant of a noble family makes his fortune and buys the mansion where he spent his childhood. But he is obsessed by the memory of this house, because the owners were, one by one, victims of an evil spirit. With a troupe of actors, he attempts to reconstruct the dramatic scenes he witnessed.
Directed by Pierre Cavassilas, Alouqa or the Comedy of the Dead leans on a strong ensemble — Jean Martin, Roger Pelletier, Karen Blanguernon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 1975.
