Janis and John
Directed by Samuel Benchetrit
Produced by Alquimia Cinema, Canal+
A comedic con-artist romp built on impersonation and fraud, anchored by nostalgia for 1960s icons and the absurdist premise of faking a rock legend's resurrection.
Insurance salesman tries to get money from his hippie cousin by fulfilling his dream: arraigning for John Lennon and Janis Joplin's "second coming".
