This picaresque and wildly irreverent roman à clefs skewers, with devastating verve, leading figures of French 1960s cinema, offering a delicious satire of “the ways and customs of the movie business.” The novel’s raw material comes from the screenplay Boudard gave in 1971 to Marc Simenon for L’Explosion, in which a young dialogue writer, Alphonse, works on a film by Luc Galano. Behind these masks lie none other than Marc Simenon, Mylène Demongeot and Georges Simenon, surrounded by other figures such as the filmmakers Henri-Georges Clouzot and Denys de La Patellière, and even Pascal Jardin.
