About The Frenchman
Story of a painter hiding in the attic claiming to be French and refusing to speak Azerbaijani even with his family. To return him to his roots, his family and in-laws try different methods.
Directed by Vagif Mustafayev, The Frenchman leans on a strong ensemble — Zarnigyar Agakishiyeva, Farman Abdullayev, Ujal Hagverdiyev — 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 1995.
