A sweet and funny light on the major concerns of our time
21 October 2023
The Black Friday gives the opportunity to 2 men ( full of debts ) and 1 woman ( climate activist) to meet and fight or join forces . For diverse (opposite?) reasons , they join forces in the activist group of Cactus ( the woman) and learn to better know each other . This movie is bringing a sweet and funny light on many concerns of our time : eco anxiety , sobriety and its multiple interpretations, the strange reasons why people would become associates , the power of collective actions , and ultimately the superiority of fundamental needs ( such as eating , loving and dancing ) above ideas. A shoot of energy in a depressed world.

Paint It Gold (2023)

Exhaustion x Love = feel good comedy
19 August 2023
An exhausted painter can not produce any painting anymore and is now totally lost , despite the unconditional support of his gallery owner and friend . He hasn't changed but the world around has , and especially the art market where the quote of a painter has more value than the painting itself ..

At the opposite, Arthur and Renzo Nervi are living art and friendship with passion , which is ultimately what will help them to overcome their financial and existential problems.

Yes it's simple , a little bit naive like a fable but an effective way to make a funny movie with the most sensitive topics, the essence of comedy .

A new order
1 November 2022
This is a satirical description of the social hierarchy in our society. A group of diverse characters falls from a paradise cruiser boat to a paradise island, and a new social hierarchy appears.

Money , beauty, love , friendships, subordination , cooperation, ethics, fear, all human feelings are reinvented during this story , which lets us with a big question mark in our mind: how would I behave in such a situation ?

I definitively recommend to watch this movie , not only to have fun, but as well to make some introspection and consider daily life with a Little bit more humour and respect for others..

A fantastic story in a tough world
28 April 2022
Once again , we spend a marvellous time with Dupontel . By just following this courageous woman ( Virginie Efira) making her best and last life efforts to meet her son . She's supported by 2 men who do not have anything to loose neither. Only Dupontel can produce this kind of movies : a fantastic story in such a tough world, a modern western where love has replaced fear .
