Louis-Ferdinand Céline, sous-titré Deux clowns pour une catastrophe, est un drame français écrit par Marcia Romano et réalisé par Emmanuel Bourdieu, sorti en mars 2016.

Le scénario est une adaptation de l'ouvrage de Milton Hindus L.-F. Céline, tel que je l'ai vu (The Crippled Giant). Hindus était un jeune universitaire juif américain passionné par l'écrivain Louis-Ferdinand Céline, qu'il rencontra lors de son exil au Danemark en 1948.

Synopsis

En 1948, Louis-Ferdinand Céline est au Danemark, en exil, étant accusé par la justice française de collaboration avec les Nazis pendant l'occupation. Il est accompagné de Lucette, sa femme, et de son chat Bébert. Un jeune universitaire juif américain, Milton Hindus, vient à sa rencontre avec l'idée d'en tirer un livre, et ce sans en informer l'auteur du Voyage au bout de la nuit. Les relations entre l'écrivain antisémite et le jeune homme deviennent progressivement difficiles.

The film begins with a plot structure based on a progression of chapters titled as "Voyages" in Hart Crane's life loosely related to Crane's lyric poem of the same name. In the first "Voyages", a depiction is made of an early attempt by Crane to take his own life. Among the other opening "Voyages", the audience is also shown depictions of several same sex relationships which Crane had throughout his lifetime in semi-graphic portrayal consistent with the film's rating. Crane's life is shown progressing through the various "Voyages" in the film, largely portrayed through his troubled relationship with the father, his close relationship to his mother, and his frustrating relationship to his job in advertising as a copyrighter in New York City. In the final "Voyages", Crane's difficult relationship to alcoholism is depicted, ending with his final "Voyage" on a small cruise ship at sea in the vicinity of Mexico where Crane ended his life by his own hand.

A group of people are watching Halley's Comet overhead when Judge Clemens is called away for the birth of his son, Samuel Clemens. The film proceeds to mix in elements of many of Clemens' best-known stories as if they actually occurred. Thus, as he grows up, Sam plays with his friends Huck, Tom, and the slave boy Jim on a raft on the Mississippi, providing a fictitious "real–life" basis for the novels Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

In 1928 in New York State, aspiring author Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (Steenburgen) advises her husband that her last book was rejected by a publisher, and she has bought an orange grove in Florida and is leaving him to go there. She drives to the nearest town alone, and arrives in time for her car to die. Local resident Norton Baskin (Peter Coyote) takes her the rest of the distance to a dilapidated and overgrown cabin attached to an even more overgrown orange grove. Despite Baskin's (and her own) doubts, she stays and begins to fix up the property.
