Subversion, free expression and transgression; Pierre Carles and Eric Martin penetrate the atmosphere of Professor Choron, the controversial yet indisputably free and irreverent character who left his mark as an editor of Hara Kiri and the beginnings of Charlie Hebdo. Carles cunningly contrasts the current political insipidness and standardisation of the media to this nutty state of mind that paved the way for May 68 and is too often forgotten. “Professor Choron was a gentleman disguised as a bastard. He spent his life laughing with talent at a society of bastards disguised as gentlemen.” Yann Kerninon
