An adorable first feature film – Quotenmeter.de

While Franck Dubosc is best known to the German public for his grotesque support roles in adaptations comic "Isnogud – The Bitter Grand Vizier" and "Asterix at the Olympic Games" The actor in his native France is particularly in the role of aging gallant, also mentally never fully developed n wanting known female heroes. Among other things, he appeared in the trilogy "Camping" co-written by him – and now in his first film "Love gets everyone rolling". At first, the director Dubosc is carried away by the fact that Dubosc prints the self-obsessed chauvi, based on Dubosc's image, written by the author Dubosc. But once this initial obstacle of vanity has been overcome, "love gets things done" becomes one of the most charming French romantic comedies of recent years.

Although he is a successful businessman approaching the 50, Jocelyn Dubosc) a playful philanthropist: he is immensely happy to conquer women while confronting the most absurd challenges. The vain and unscrupulous lie-baron turns away from his weak side – unaware how much he offends others with him. As he sits in the wheelchair of his recently deceased mother, and has just met his new neighbor, the young concierge Julie (Caroline Anglade), he intends to wrap it around his finger, believing that He is of the hip is paralyzed.

Jocelyn is distracted during this bet with herself, because Julie wants to accompany her with her sister Florence (Alexandra Lamy), who is sitting in a wheelchair. And winning them would be even more of a challenge … except that Jocelyn does not simply adopt this challenge by ambition. Because humorous and intelligent Florence awakens feelings in Playboy …

For a character to develop beyond himself, one must first show him his weak side – which she explains herself. they are currently in their best shape possible. But Franck Dubosc draws in the first act of "love brings everything that rolls" well beyond the goal: It records its role of perennial pleasure pig without verve or the slightest spark of romance in the body. He grabs the performance presented with a peppery joy of play, however, without critical distance, even celebrates Jocelyn's maneuverability. This makes empathy with this protagonist at first difficult and encourages it, which in turn deflates some of his happy jokes instead of igniting them.

But all this changes just when Alexandra Lamy appears on the screen, As soon as Dubosc does not have to wear this romantic comedy alone on her shoulders, she finds her rhythm. Lamy is delighted to be a playful and joyful woman, sporty, an honest gallows humor, an irrepressible energy and a winning smile – and yet does not hide her vulnerable side. When Florence feels disabled because of her disability, Lamy actually shows a disappointment or frustration by removing her role from her eyes or turning her honest smile into a happy face.

In interaction with this credible character, but discreetly exuberant, the protagonist, at first so unpleasant, changes little by little, highlighting Dubosc's mime as well as its staging. The lie master, who always cheats all the others, is now busy with the decreasing rate of success, getting something wrong. That he is not madly in love with Florence. That he has the courage to finish his farce. He's got a plan.

The harmonious chemistry of the canvas between Dubosc and Lamy also benefits from the very direct direction of the beginner: Dubosc fills the action with images adapted to the cinema and to the pbadages of action romantically realized. From the way the newcomer knows how to visually utilize Jocelyn's absurd flat chice, many RomCom filmmakers can cut a slice, as well as his sense of montage scenes and pbadages where gestures speak more than words. Thus, despite an exaggerated start, Kalau-Heavy, Dubosc manages to tell a story of love as plausible, exaggerated, cinematographic and cinematographic that won the big screen.

"Love gets everyone" is from July 5 To see in the selected German cinemas in 2018.
