It is with a semblance of chronology and to the rhythm of Antoine De Caunes' not unpleasant voice-over that we are told the story of this unusual troublemaker, who, with his extraordinary ease of writing, put the competition light years away in the 1980s. A mini-documentary that reminds us, if it were necessary, that intellectual buffoonery died with Pierre Desproges.
