“An international triumph. A monumental achievement.”
The New York Times

A cinematic masterpiece that captures the soul and spirit of the French port city. Comprising three iconic films, MARIUS (1931), FANNY (1932), and CESAR (1936), this trilogy is an exploration of love, family, and the rugged beauty of Marseille’s landscape. Marcel Pagnol’s storytelling and vivid portrayal of Marseille’s vibrant culture, with its bustling waterfront and colourful characters, make this trilogy an all time classic. It’s a cinematic journey that takes viewers through the highs and lows of life, love, and the enduring ties that bind us to our roots. If Marcel Pagnol had thought of Raimu from the very beginning when writing the trilogy, he did not write the role of César for him. He wanted to entrust him with the character of Panisse. However, the actor himself changed the plan stating : “I want to be the owner of the bar. It’s not Mr. Raimu who will visit Mr. Charpin [who ultimately played Panisse], but it’s Mr. Charpin who must come to Mr. Raimu.“
