Le jardin d'Eponine

She is not very brilliant, Eponine's career ... But what, there is not only the theater in life! Good year bad year, rouspous and vehement, she manages to find a good life, surrounded by her sister, of her mother, her dog and her doves ... And above all, in the middle of her wonderful piece of garden which she cares for with love ... Originally it was a play written by Maria Pacôme, premiered on September 25, 1981 at the Comédie des Champs Elysées (directed by Gérard Vergez). This piece was specially recorded (without audience) for television in March 1984, at the Buttes-Chaumont and broadcast on Antenne 2.

Directed by Michel Boisrond, Le jardin d'Eponine leans on a strong ensemble — Maria Pacôme, Denise Grey, Colette Teissèdre — 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 1984.
