Écoutez Mouna

About This Movie

Écoutez Mouna is a fascinating dive into the life of Aguigui Mouna, a figure who blends humor with sharp social commentary. Directed by Bernard Baissat, the documentary captures not just the antics of Mouna on the bustling Beaubourg esplanade, but peels back layers to reveal the complex history of André Dupont. Raised in the rough landscapes of Savoy, Dupont's journey through the French navy, marked by violence and resilience, underpins the film's exploration of identity and societal roles. It's a gritty, raw depiction, with an atmosphere that feels simultaneously chaotic and intimate, allowing viewers to ponder the thin line between clown and sage in a world rife with turmoil.
