Yoyo

In 1965, French comedian and director Pierre Étaix starred in a film that defied expectations, blending action, comedy, drama, family, romance, and even silent film elements. After losing his fortune in the stock-exchange crash, the son of a 1920s millionaire joins a traveling circus with an equestrienne, becoming a clown and eventually finding love and success on the big screen. The film's unique mix of genres and its use of animal stars - including an elephant - have made it a cult classic, praised by some as a masterpiece despite being panned by others. With Étaix's impressive performance at its center, "Yoyo" remains a charming and entertaining ride from start to finish.
