Every day, AlloCiné recommends a film to (re)watch on TV. Tonight: a comedy that does a lot of good and which revealed Pierre Niney!
How about ending the weekend with a real feel-good movie? If you’re interested, tune in to TF1 to enjoy LOL, an exciting comedy about teenagers in the 2000s. The story of a mother who has a difficult relationship with her 16-year-old daughter who discovers the adult world…
Cult film which marked an entire generation, LOL, released in theaters in 2009, is a constant pleasure, as funny as it is tender and touching. Director Lisa Azuelos managed very accurately to capture the spirit of the times and what the youth of the time was like. And her characters are all very endearing, notably the young Christa Théret and a brilliant Sophie Marceau, incredibly natural. Funny and moving, the actress, who finds herself on the other side of the mirror almost thirty after La Boum, will definitely seduce you!
LOL addresses “to young people aged 7 to 77”declares Lisa Azuelos. “I made this film to tell teenagers that they have been unmasked and to tell their parents that they are not alone: the stupid age, the one where we think we know everything and where we answer “it’s fine!” as if nothing was ever serious, it’s catastrophic, but we get through it!”
One of Pierre Niney’s first films!
Pour Lisa Azuelosit was essential to treat the bruises in the soul with humor. “My brain has always needed this lightning rod”notes the filmmaker. “And then lightness does not prevent us from asking existential questions. To us the little English girls, The Under-Gifted, The party, The Beach Hotel, The slap… I wrote LOL as a tribute to these films which marked me and speak so well about adolescence.”
LOLwhich we should note revealed a certain Pierre Niney, is a must-see in French comedy. I promise, this film, which attracted more than 3.6 million spectators in theaters, will put you in good spirits to start the week off right!
Tonight on W9 at 11:10 p.m.
