My France, welcomes Claude Lelouch, for his latest film FINALLY he who never ceases to claim that “cinema is better than life”! He has been taking us into his lyricism, his poetry, since 1957. We have become attached, film after film, to his actors, to his characters, to his Music…
FINALLY, it's the story of a man who leaves, who flees his family, his friends, society, others to get rid of the constraints, to experience something else, to feel lighter. So as not to go crazy?
This flight, this escape, necessarily resonates with that of SAM LION, Jean-Paul Belmondo in Itinerary of a Spoiled Child…
In this film, this time, Kad Merad, who is moving, is a great lawyer, but he never stops putting himself in the place of those he defends, to try to better understand their gestures, their actions, their discomfort, he is inhabited, he is no longer himself and he decides to leave alone.
Then he is accompanied by a trumpet. A companion in lament, or a remedy for loneliness?
Music irrigates Claude Lelouch's life, it also accompanies all his films. In this one, Ibrahim Maalouf signs the original soundtrack. And a cast: composed of Françoise Fabian, Elsa Zylberstein, Barbara Pravi, Sandrine Bonnaire, Michel Boujenah, Raphaël Mezrahi… a whirlwind of talent.
In theaters November 13
