About Louis the 19th, King of the Airwaves
Louis Jobin is an ordinary young man from Montreal who sells televisions at an electronics store. He wins a contest sponsored by the local cable company in which the first prize is that he'll be followed non-stop by a camera crew, with the footage broadcast live on Channel 19. Unfortunately, his ordinary life is so ordinary, despite the best efforts of his starstruck mother, that the producers attempt to spice things up behind his back.
Directed by Michel Poulette, Louis the 19th, King of the Airwaves leans on a strong ensemble — Martin Drainville, Agathe de La Fontaine, Dominique Michel — 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 comedy titles of 1994.
