Olivier De Benoist : 0-40 Ans

After two shows where he delighted his audience with (falsely) misogynistic reflections, Olivier de Benoist returns to the stage, this time decided not to attack women anymore. Finally, less than usual ... With 0/40 years old, where he tells his life from birth to today, the humorist wanted to abandon the macho character who had made his success. But for lack of common thread and inventive staging, the show turns out to be wobbly. Not bad, certainly, with even a few good moments, but not convincing either. If the initiative was laudable, the result is likely to satisfy neither the frustrated fans of not finding everything they liked nor those who wanted to discover Olivier de Benoist in another register. Recorded in La Halle aux vins, parc des exposition, Colmar.

Directed by Ybao Benedetti, Olivier De Benoist : 0-40 Ans leans on a strong ensemble — Olivier de Benoist — 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 2017.
