To mark the fortieth anniversary of René Goscinny's death, La Cinémathèque française and La Cité internationale de la bande dessinée et de l'image (Angoulême), in partnership with the Institut René Goscinny, have decided to pay tribute to him with a major exhibition devoted to the influence of cinema on his work, as well as his own cinematic oeuvre.

The book explores the constant and highly fertile relationship between a screenwriter of genius and the object of his favorite reverie: cinema.

40 years after the death of their demiurge, Goscinny's characters continue to nourish international popular culture. Asterix and Obelix, Lucky Luke and Le Petit Nicolas have become movie characters in their own right.
And more than ever, Goscinny deserves the affectionate nickname given to him by his friend Gotlib: "Walt Goscinny".

The colorful personality of René Goscinny, child of a Central European Jewish family, and his entire career. From his youthful works in Argentina and New York to Pilote and the creation of Asterix, the exhibition highlights the genial creativity of the man who gave French culture one of its finest revolutions.
