Sempé, cartoonist

Translated into twenty-five languages, Jean-Jacques SEMPÉ is also France's most famous cartoonist. Over the past fifty years, he has touched all populations and all generations. Everyone has their own idea of Sempé. Singers (Anne Sylvestre) and writers (Anna Gavalda, Philippe Delerm, Patrick Modiano, Patrick Süskind...) evoke "Sempé's little man", lost in a world that often went beyond him. But Sempé first and foremost makes us think about the "Human Comedy", thanks to his humorous drawings (with captions) and more "poetic" drawings (without captions). This film aims to enable viewers to look at the world with Sempé, and to penetrate the mystery of the gentle music he composes, inconsolable and cheerful, with his delicate strokes.
