Adieu Berthe
A FILM BY Bruno Podalydès
A FILM BY Bruno Podalydès
C'est le plus beau, le plus émouvant, le plus enlevé, le plus intelligent, le plus grave et fantasque des films de Bruno Podalydès.
- Jacques Mandelbaum, Le Monde
Après un "Bancs publics" décevant, Bruno Podalydès revient aux affaires avec cet "Adieu Berthe" d'une grâce absolue.
- David Nathanson, Les Fiches du Cinéma
Une fois de plus, la maison Podalydès and Co a mis au point un moteur à explosion feutrée, fonctionnant au mélange d'humour et de mélancolie douce, comme il y a une folie douce. Remarquablement dialogué, le film foisonne d'idées.
- Pierre Vavasseur, Le Parisien
Synopsis
In the midst of a full-blown midlife crisis, Armand navigates haphazardly between his job as a chemist and his passion for magic. Where matters of the heart are concerned, he's torn between his wife Hélène and his mistress, Alix. And as for family life, what with an interfering mother-in-law, the kids with whom he can no longer communicate and Alix's daughter, whose birthday is quickly approaching, Armand doesn't know which way to turn… And then his grandmother Berthe dies, and he's landed with the extra task of arranging the funeral. It's too much for Armand, who finds himself forced to confront a profound existential question: do we burn Granny, or bury her?Theatrical Release Date
