Le Répondeur (2024)
( Comedy – in French with English subtitles – 1h42)
Synopsis:
Baptiste, imitateur de talents, ne parvient pas à vivre de son art. Un jour, il est approché par Pierre Chozène, un romancier célèbre mais discret, dérangé par les importuns, les solliciteurs, les mondains, les fâcheux. Pierre a besoin de calme pour terminer son texte le plus ambitieux, le plus intime. Il propose alors à Baptiste de devenir sa voix au téléphone, et c’est ainsi que Baptiste devient son répondeur, à leurs risques et périls…
Baptiste, a talented imitator, is unable to make a living from his art. One day, he is approached by Pierre Chozène, a famous but discreet novelist, constantly disturbed by incessant calls from his publisher, his daughter, his ex-wife… Pierre, who needs peace and quiet to write his most ambitious text, then suggests that Baptiste become his ‘answering machine’ by pretending to be him on the phone… Little by little, Baptiste doesn’t just imitate the writer: he develops his character!
