Uplifting french quirky tale about depression.
What to do when you are depressed? Help somebody out who is depressed as well. Two like minded depressed souls are the main characters of this endearing, lighthearted french story. Catherine Deneuve is one of them. Her name was the reason I was drawn towards to this french quirky story. Deneuve’s acting skills are way out there, even at her old age, she can carry a story by her own. The other main character played by Gustav Kervern is splendid and funny in his catatonic depressed style of acting.What’s the story about? Two depressed souls help eachother out, when they accidentally meet eachother in the courtyard of their apparment complex. The story is quirky, funny and endearing. And yes it is very slow, mirroring the depressing mood both characters are in. Definitely not a crowd pleaser, only suited for an arthouse audience who likes to watch depressed people fumble through their lives.
What makes this movie especially endearing is it’s courage to deal with mental issues, in a serious way, yet the mood of this story remains very lighthearted, with some unexpected shattering moment of deep grief.
A Dirty Crack On The Wall …
… but it was written in French.Pierre Salvadori is usually a good bet to send you home cocooned in a warm glow. Like Francis Veber he likes to throw two disparate people together and watch what happens but whereas Veber does this almost exclusively with males Salvadori, as often as not, will mix the genders. Here he locks onto two people who stumble upon a mid-life crisis at roughly the same time but miles apart. Antoine is a rock musician who walks away from his band in mid-tour and immediately pre-gig. Not really equipped for any other line of work he tries his hand as a janitor and as luck would have it his immediate superior, Mathilde, is having a crisis of her own, albeit she has support in the shape of a husband. No one is surprised when the two bond and grow close although stopping well short of romance. A lot of the fun are the fruitcakes who people the building and/or neighbourhood. It’s very easy to take and well acted by all hands. Recommended.
