"Vian Bubbles" - On June 23, 2009, fifty years to the day after the death of Boris Vian, a supernatural phenomenon crosses all of France: in the streets, one sings everywhere his songs and one expresses oneself only in the language of the poet. In Paris, Antoine de Caunes wakes up to discover the strange "vianic" epidemic, which also affects radio waves and the small screen. A boss of channel proposes to him to organize, for the same evening, a show dedicated to the songs of Boris Vian. Jean-Pierre Marielle tells us the story of this phenomenon, as supernatural as inexplicable. A tribute in songs to the glowing cast.

The choreographer brings the Paris of yesteryear back to life: the city of the Boulevard du Crime from the first half of the 19th century, with its artists, theaters, and cabarets. In a staging reminiscent of a movie set, the mime Baptiste bathes in his memories, tell about his encounter with Garance, his impossible love for a marvelous yet unattainable woman, the magical universe of the stage, life behind the scenes, and the tenuous line performers maintain between reality and illusion. Marc-Oliver Dupin's original score provides the musical backdrop for a choreography alternating between larger ensemble numbers and intimate love duets.

His archenemy is a cheeky mockingbird, whose favourite pastime is thwarting the king’s attempts to shoot birds. One night, a portrait of the king comes to life and disposes of the real king, taking his place. The portrait king falls in love with a young shepherdess in another painting and intends to marry her. But, alas, the shepherdess has fallen in love with a chimneysweep and together they elope from the king’s palace. Enraged, the king sends his police to capture them and once they are within his power he forces the shepherdess to marry him. The mockingbird must use all his guile and courage to once more thwart the king and bring his evil reign to an end.

한 쌍의 남녀가 진흙투성이 길 위에서 사랑을 나누고 있다. 거리가 시끄러워지고 결국 남자는 체포된다. 남자는 수갑을 찬 채 끌려 가면서도 오로지 자신이 갈망하는 여인만을 생각한다. 영화는 마치 다큐멘터리처럼 전갈의 생태를 묘사하며 시작한다. 그리고 산적들, 사제, 군인, 관료가 차례로 등장하고, 영화의 주인공으로 보이는 한 쌍의 젊은 남녀가 사랑을 벌인다. 이들의 사랑이 부르주아들에 의해 끊임없이 방해받는다는 것이 이 영화의 주요한 이야기인 셈인데, 영화의 마지막 부분은 영뚱하게도 사드 후작의 소설 <소돔의 120일>의 후일담으로 넘어간다. 여기에 등장하는 4명의 '패륜아' 중의 한명은 예수의 모습을 하고 있고, 영화의 마지막 이미지는 사막에 버려진 십자가이다. 이러한 이야기 사이사이에 우스꽝스럽고 기괴한 부르주아의 삶의 단편들이 끼어들고, 자막과 대사, 음악은 이 영화의 공격대상이 무엇인지를 숨김없이 드러내고 있다. <황금시대>는 일부 좌파 지식인을 제외한 모든 이들의 격렬한 분노와 항의를 불러일으켰다. 가장 문제가 된 것은 예수를 사드 소설의 주인공으로 묘사한 신성 모독적인 부분이었다. 영화가 상영되는 극장에 몰려온 극우단체 회원들은 영사막을 찢었고, 찢어진 영사막 위에 영화는 며칠간 계속 상영되었다. 결국 들끓는 여론과 카톨릭 교회의 압력에 따라 파리시 당국은 상영 금지 조치를 내리고 프린트를 압수하였다.
