The most broadcast film on French television is not what you think

Even if television is seen less and less, it remains for many French people a vehicle for discovering cult films, broadcasting and, above all, rebroadcasting numerous feature films. On May 15, the National Center of Cinema and Image (CNC) published its “2023 report”, listing the twenty films most broadcast on French television since 1957.

A confidential film first and foremost

If we had bet on The Bronzed OR Visitors firstly, it is a rather confidential film that emerges as a winner on the podium. AND Delphine 1, Yvan 0film by Domenico Farrugia published in 1996, with Serge Hazanavicius AND Julie Gayet, which has aired 70 times, including 58 in the last ten years. This romantic comedy tells the story of Delphine and Yvan, a couple whose twists and turns are commented on like a football match.

The feature film followed very closely from the animated film Kirikou and the wild beasts which occupies second place, with 69 television broadcasts since 2004. It should be noted that the first part of this saga, Kirikou and the witch, appears in ninth position. And in third place on the podium there is THE Twelve Labors of Asterixseen 60 times on television screens since 1975.
