Actor/filmmaker Pierre Etaix’s personal and most beloved
movie, YOYO (1965), tells about an estate gone full circle. A 1920’s billionaire lives in an empty old
estate but is not happy. His financial state
is destroyed by the stock market crash, and he joins the circus. His son, decades later, becomes a famous
movie star comedian and buys back his father’s former estate, and begins to restore
it, an example of our debt and responsibility to the past.
Come
