Old age facing the vicissitudes of life
15 July 2020
  • You're young, you're beautiful - and a French drama directed by Franchin Don (here is his first feature movie) and released in 2018, based on the work of Tarik Noui. Once again the beautiful realization "Franchin Don", the photography of "David Merlin-Dufey" and the incredible play of actors of great talents: "Gérard Darmon in the role of Lucius" and "Josiane Balasko in the role of Mona" burst the screen by their mere presence, despite a good scenario quite surprising, the theme of old age is approached in a dramatic and austere, because the end of life is still not as bright as it can be for everyone world and is here tackled in a strong way by its old actors struggling with all the vicissitudes of life. The actors have an authentic force and in the interpretation in this rather dark dramatic story, the strong point of this story is of course extraordinary performance of "Gérard Darmon" I know that I may repeat myself, but that's also it the strength of a good movie reinforced by its exceptional acting, we are not in a comedy but in a dramatic story. A strong movie, not without flaws, but very good overall.
