About Yoyo
The story follows the son of a millionaire from the 1920s to the 1960s. After losing his fortune in the stock-exchange crash, he teams up with an equestrienne and becomes a circus clown.
Directed by Pierre Étaix, Yoyo leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Étaix, Claudine Auger, Philippe Dionnet — 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 1965.
