História

Karl Zéro publie au début des années 1980, sa première bande dessinée intitulée Les Aventures de Edmond dans le fanzine Jalons. Celle-ci lui permet d'être embauché en tant que dessinateur-scénariste pour les magazines Métal Hurlant, Charlie-Hebdo, Zoulou et L'Écho des savanes. En 1981, il entre comme journaliste spécialisé chez Actuel, un mensuel à la mode et contestataire. L'équipe décide de se lancer dans la radio, c'est ainsi que Karl Zéro rejoint l'équipe de Radio Nova, il y rencontre Daisy d'Errata, sa future épouse. Le journaliste poursuit son ascension, naviguant de magazines en magazines et de radios en radios. En 1986, il fait son entrée sur TF1, mais son humour décalé dérange et il est rapidement remercié. Il est alors engagé par Canal + et intègre la jeune équipe de l'émission d'Antoine de Caunes et Philippe Gildas Nulle part ailleurs. Dès lors, le présentateur ne cessera de travailler sur la chaîne cryptée. Mais le trublion du PAF ne se contente pas du petit écran puisqu'en 1993, il réalise, avec Bernard Faroux, son premier film pour le cinéma, Le Tronc, où il joue aux côtés de José Garcia (un de ses partenaires de Nulle part ailleurs), Jean-Luc Reichmann et Lova Moor. En 1996, il a sa propre émission hebdomadaire sur Canal +, Le Vrai Journal, qui propose à éclairage mi-potache mi-journalistique sur l'actualité. L'aventure dure 10 ans. Treize ans après son premier long métrage cinématographique, l'animateur décide de réaliser, avec son ami Michel Royer, le documentaire Dans la peau de Jacques Chirac, un deuxième film qui reçoit le César du meilleur documentaire en 2007. Le duo réitère un an plus tard avec le documentaire Ségo et Sarko sont dans un bateau, qui sort en salle juste avant le 1er tour des élections présidentielles de 2007. Après avoir dressé les portraits au vitriol des politiciens français, le dernier en date étant Starko consacré au président de la république, il tourne l'objectif de l'autre côté de l'atlantique pour le film Dans la peau de George Bush (Being W). Ce documentaire, qui sort en pleine campagne d'investiture aux Etats-Unis, est un éclairage sur les huit-ans de présidence de Bush.

The Baudis affair, the murderous rumor
Self (archive footage)
In 2002, serial killer Patrice Alègre was sentenced to life imprisonment for five murders. Gendarme Roussel, the main investigator of this case, believes that he will make him confess to other unsolved crimes in Toulouse. Two ex-prostitutes give a series of names of presumed accomplices of the killer, among them Dominique Baudis, then president of the CSA. He decides to face the case alone. Around him, it is silence: not an official support of his political family. Almost twenty years later, we return to the Baudis affair to try to understand it, with the testimonies of Pierre and Benjamin Baudis, his sons, François Hollande, Camille Pascal and the main protagonists.

Being Jacques Chirac
Writer
Since 1967, Jacques Chirac has appeared everyday on television : millions of hours of automatic gestures, jerky speeches and feverish cavalcades. This mockumentary is based on archival footage and told at the first person (the voice of the French president is provided by imitator Didier Gustin). The main comic effect comes from the contradictions between the various speeches of the French President. The title comes from the title of the French-language version of Being John Malkovich.

Le Furet
Tino
From his locksmith's shop, a simple guy dreams of becoming a crime boss, at the wheel of his Cadillac surrounded by blonde bimbos. He starts small, assassinating petty criminals. Gaining renown in the newspapers as "Le Furet" (The Ferret), he soon sets his sights higher. The police and organized crime both take up the chase.
Day and Night
Filippi
Ten years ago, distinguished French author Alexandre (Alain Delon) exchanged his stressful, hectic life in Paris for a more peaceful existence upon a Mexican hacienda with his wife Ariane (Marianne Denicourt). Lucien (Jean-Pierre Kalfon) also accompanies them. There, Alexandre meets the strange lady-oracle Sonia (Lauren Bacall). As the film opens, the melancholy Alexandre is visited by the sensuous actress Laure (Arielle Dombasle) and her producer Raoul Fillipi (Karl Zero) who is going to make a movie of one of Alexandre's best-loved books. Laure is determined to play the part of the heroine and is willing to resort to seduction to get it. At the same time, Ariane is involved in a passionate affair with French-Mexican seismologist Carlo (Xavier Beauvois). While all of these characters wrangle and tangle with their different agendas, the local residents prepare for a violent revolution. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi
