| 2021 \u2013 106\u2032 \u2013 DRAMA, COMEDY, FILMS & ART, FAMILY+14. Multitalented screen star Kad Merad gives a powerful performance in\u00a0The Big Hit, leading a dazzling cast in this jubilant comedy about a down-and-out actor who lands a gig running a prison theater workshop and decides to mount a full-fledged production of\u00a0Waiting for Godot\u00a0with his ragtag troupe of inmates.\u00a0 Based on a true story, this deeply touching film beautifully illustrates Beckett\u2019s take on the human condition \u2014 a particularly apt one for both the perpetually-waiting prisoners and their director \u2014 with passion, humor, hijinks and a liberal dash of poetry.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n THE BIG HIT | 2021 \u2013 106\u2032 \u2013 DRAMA, COMEDY, FILMS & ART, FAMILY+14.
