The Essence of
French Cinema
EXPERTS INSIGHTS
Arnaud de Fontenay
"On a serious subject, Agnès Jaoui pulls off the remarkable feat of making us laugh and think, carried along by great music and outstanding performances from Daniel Auteuil and Eye Haïdara."
Eye Haïdara (supporting actress)
“Agnès Jaoui is the best person to handle this subject, not only to write about it, but also infuse it with the necessary humor. Because the film is also very funny. You have to have guts to do that. These voices create a very contemporary vision of the society in which we live.”
Elle
"A slyly political comedy."
Le Figaro
"The message shakes things up, provokes, and irritates. Behind the scenes, Mozart is having a good laugh. He’s not the only one."
Les Echos
"Agnès Jaoui makes her highly anticipated return both in front of and behind the camera with a film that takes a sharp look at the commodification of culture and certain excesses of neo-feminism."
