Iris : What is Doria Tillier's series broadcast on Canal+ this Monday, November 25, 2024 about?
Iris, thirty-something as dreamy as she is Cartesian”say out loud what others don't think“. This teacher who dreams of publishing her first children's book is capable of debating on anything and everything, of telling her host that her homemade lasagna is nothing extraordinary or of stealing a cookie from a child sleeping on a train… Her radical positions and unfiltered words that can disconcert, even exasperate those around her, cause her moments of embarrassment, and moments of laughter for us.
Iris : Should you watch the Doria Tillier series broadcast on Canal+ this Monday, November 25, 2024? Our opinion
“Where there is discomfort, there is no pleasure.” Doria Tillier twists the proverb's neck with her offbeat comedy, where we laugh at discomfort without ever feeling uncomfortable. Inspired by Larry David (Larry and his belly buttonto see on Max), Seinfeld or Ricky Gervais, Doria Tillier embodies a singular heroine, both dreamy and Cartesian, who brandishes her frankness like a standard and has a series of setbacks, often funny, even pathetic. Combative, she is not afraid to display her opinions, nor to show her vulnerability, which she demonstrates in particular in the final sequence, finely written and full of poetry. With its awkward sincerity, it allows us to reflect on the place that everyone has in society to debate or express an opinion without worrying about established customs. “Disagreement and conflict should not be confused“, Doria Tillier likes to say, that this fiction, a little sour candy that is very pleasant to follow, offers us a nice life lesson as a bonus: daring to be yourself, it doesn't matter. So, let's dare!
