French literary masterpiece 'Journey to the End of the Night' is being adapted by Joann Sfar ('A Rabbi's Cat') and Thomas Bidegain ('Emilia Perez').
“Journey to the End of the Night,” a literary masterpiece penned by controversial French author Louis-Ferdinand Céline, is being adapted for the big screen by Joann Sfar(“The Rabbi’s Cat,” “Gainsbourg: A Heroic Life”) and Thomas Bidegain(“A Prophet,” “Emilia Perez”). The book charts Bardamu’s adventures, from World War I to French West Africa and New York, where he finds work on an assembly line at Ford Motor Company before moving back to France and becoming a doctor in a poor Paris suburb. The pair said they have “gathered an exceptional artistic team to capture the tormented and masterful essence of Céline’s work.” They also suggested they will take some liberty with the novel to deliver a “cinematic reinterpretation of Bardamu’s existential and tragic journey,” which will showcase Sfar and Bidegain’s “unique and singular vision that will resonate with a wide audience.”
