Orelsan : Montre jamais ça à personne (2021)
Likely the best documentary about a musician
An excellent and highly addictive documentary!! Especially season one.
I have heard of Orelsan and listened to some of his music prior to watching this documentary but didn't really know much about him and/or his background stories. This documentary completely blew my mind!! Having 20 years of video footage shot by his younger brother was incredible, but more importantly the documentary was so sincere and authentic in showing the gradual growth, the painful struggles, the constant doubts, the phenomenal dedication and the hardwork of this artist. There were touching moments that moved me to tears, as well as funny moments that made me burst out laughing. From literally being a nobody in Normandy to a mega rap star in France, from being the most controversial/ hated rapper by the media to someone being widely adored and admired by the grand public, Orelsan has a career path that's truly inspiring to many.
In addition, this documentary is very well-paced and well-edited. There's always a nice "hook" at the end of each episode that keeps the audience eager to watch the next one.
Bravo to Clément and the entire production crew! Thank you for all the amazing work. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching this documentary!
