Jean Pierre Foucault and Michel Blanc's Impact on Cinema
The news of Michel Blanc's passing brings back fond memories of the Splendid troupe, a group of seven comedians who rose to fame together. Established in 1974, their café-theatre paved the way for successful film adaptations of their work, notably Les Bronzés and its sequel, Les Bronzés font du ski. As they ventured into solo careers, the group's unique charisma continued to shine in cinema.
