Philippe Gaulier

Based on the memoirs of Eugène-François Vidocq, this series follows the adventures of this former convict turned policeman in the early 19th century. In these new adventures, Vidocq comes up against a ravishing “baronne”, a formidable gang leader. The cases entrusted to Vidocq are not only police affairs, but also delicate, political and even diplomatic affairs.

Philippe Gaulier taught theatre for over forty-five years. Students came from all around the world to attend École Philippe Gaulier in France, where they studied theatre and clown. Created in collaboration with Philippe and Michiko, this film is a final gift from a man who spent his life helping his students discover freedom.
