André Halimi scours the nation’s television studios, where the art of impersonation has not known a decline but has been undergoing a constant renewal of objects and talents. The top impersonators talk about the history of their art and allow us to better appreciate their work: all of them practiced in their families or at school, then on the thankless stages of cabarets and clubs, where audiences rarely give you their undivided attention. Halimi reviews the unusual careers of Thierry Le Luron, Patrick Sébastien, Laurent Gerra, Michel Leeb, even as he attempts to decipher the close relations that exists between caricature and politics.
