About Why did I write the Bible
Francis, a man in his sixties, is found in a diving suit, swimming in a river in the city center. Even his children, accustomed to their father's escapades, are surprised: since Francis knows he is condemned, it seems really unmanageable. Samuel and his sister must therefore find a way to accompany him at any cost.
Directed by Alexandre Steiger, Why did I write the Bible leans on a strong ensemble — Christian Bouillette, Samuel Achache, Laëtitia Spigarelli — 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.
