About Cap au large
Father Boquet, old and sad, hopes that François, his son, will be a fisherman like him. Alas, François follows his evil genius Simon to town and succumbs to the charms of the great Lisa. The wise village teacher sets out to find him when his father is ill, and brings François back in a violent storm. Love is on the way
Directed by Jean-Paul Paulin, Cap au large leans on a strong ensemble — Antonin Berval, Édouard Delmont, Gérard Landry — 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 1942.
