Qu'est-ce qu'on attend pour être heureux! (1982)
Character: Joachim
In this film that sends up the foibles of filmmaking, a standard crew of actors, stage-hands, director, writers, producers, and others are gathered for the filming of a 45-second automobile commercial. Each role embodies an archetype (the harried director who has a deadline to meet, the Scrooge production manager who has a budget to meet, and the writers who are above these mundane concerns), and these personalities drive the working actors over the edge until they decide to lock them up and do their own thing -- happiness can be just around the corner if you are in the driver's seat. Hopefully, the actors will be able to bow out before the police catch on to the situation.

L'école sauvage (1973)
Character: N/A
In a school near Paris, a new experiment is being tried: to allow each child to express him or herself. In the smaller classes, group activities were dispensed with: each child did what interested him or her, according to temperament and desire. In other classes, grades are unknown and there is no fixed program; in English, the teacher lets the pupils work and converse according to their own style and rhythm; in a natural science class, we see a 10-year-old child expounding a theme on her own and answering questions from her classmates. Artistic activities also feature prominently: theatrical improvisation and orchestra formation, among others. The creation of a council allows children to submit initiatives, discuss them and organize themselves around their suggestions.
