Grand Corps Malade films his joyous ordeal in “Patients”

Slameur, Grand Corps Malade adapts his autobiographical novel “Patients” with Mehdi Idir, which is also the first realization. Given the subject and talent of the slammer, the film is rather identified and little is known about the contribution of his partner. The result is none the less astonishing of justness, funny, romantic, on a subject that hardly lends itself to it: hospitalization [ . . . ]

Grand Corps Sick: from slam to big screen

Fabien Marsaud’s name may not tell you much. And for good reason, this name is hidden behind that of Grand Corps Malade, the slammer to the five albums, but also the co-director of the film “Patients” presented in preview at the Festival of Film of Love which takes place until Friday at Mons, Belgium.

Victim of a sports accident at the age of 20, Fabien Marsaud finds himself quadriplegic incomplete, forcing him to review the copy of his life. For him, 1997 will be the year of change, of a new beginning. He will swap the basketball against the ballpoint pen. A conversion he will undertake successfully. He will now be called Grand Corps Malade.

His handicap, Fabien spoke in his slam “The Sixth Sense”. But in 2012, he wants to talk more about it through his book “Patients”, which now enjoys a cinematographic adaptation. The talent of Grand Corps Malade is reflected through the writing of the script and its co-realization with its longtime accomplice Medhi Idir.

Grand Corps Malade

A friend in Paris recently turned me on to this amazing talent known as Grand Corps Malade.  Also known as  Fabien Marsaud, the poet performs both a capella, and occasionally accompanied by a small jazz ensemble.

I love this video “Pocahontas,” which features family members and friends recreating photographs from their past.

In 1997, a diving accident left Marsaud unable to walk for a period of two years. Marsaud claimed the name “Grand Corps Malade” (meaning “Tall Sick Body” in French) in reference to his condition as well as his height (nearly 6’4″). The former basketball star regained the ability to walk in 1999, and started his career as “slam poet” in 2003.

2013’s Funambule is the fourth studio album, with the musical direction of musician and trumpet player Ibrahim Maalouf. The album Continue reading “Grand Corps Malade” →
