Aging star of French song, Antoine Toussaint recoveries a stroke. He is healed, but depressed. Even his impressio (Patrick Timsit) fails to get him out of his despair.
Well decided, the Crooner goes to end his life in Switzerland, but his meeting with the bubbling victory, of which he is the idol, will thwart all his plans.
What if this completely cracked woman and this desperate singer ended up loveing himself, by virtue of their weaknesses? Like a hymn to life and love, this romantic comedy brilliantly tackles the thorny subject of assisted suicide.
Tasty dialogues in touching scenes, Valérie Lemercier and Gérard Darmon form a hilarious duo.
Jean-Pierre Améris shows himself here a worthy heir to the American filmmaker Billy Wilder, who had no equal to give an intimate drama a jubilant tour. When the end credits starts to parade, we find ourselves humming François Valéry’s song: “Let us love alive / Let’s not wait for death to find talent. »With only one desire: continue to savor every second of our existence every second. Delightful
