Le roman d'un truqueur

"Le roman d'un truqueur" mixes the story of a fictional investigation with the reality of its filming by the author, in a spirit of humor, self-mockery and pastiche. After having unscrupulously infiltrated the action, the producer, confusing fiction and reality, tries to hijack the investigation for his own benefit. Entangled in their investigation, but true to their role, the actors thwart the producer's schemes and then look for a financing solution themselves to bring the film to a successful conclusion.

Directed by Paul Dopff, Le roman d'un truqueur leans on a strong ensemble — Marie-Christine Orry, Bernard Maître, Paul Dopff — 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 1992.
