Grégory Gadebois and Lambert Wilson co-star in a lovely comedy by Eric Besnard(Délicieux, L'Esprit de Famille). Les Choses Simples, shot in sublime natural surroundings, is due in cinemas on February 22, 2023.
In this feature, the filmmaker has also teamed up with Marie Gillain, for a film shot entirely on natural sets, in magnificent natural surroundings, where director Eric Besnard invites us to slow down and appreciate the little things.
Our opinion
One is rich, philanthropic and successful, but lacks the main thing: happiness. The other is gruff, quiet and rustic, but would prefer to open up to the woman he loves. Their meeting will initially be full of lies and bitterness, but in a dreamy countryside setting, Vincent (Lambert Wilson) and Pierre (Grégory Gadebois) will get to know each other and appreciate what the other has to offer. The film's pitch may sound clichéd, but it's only the beginning that is. A twist arrives fairly quickly in the script that reshuffles the cards.
One might expect yet another film about a city-dweller who learns to appreciate life anew by moving to the countryside, but not at all. The film's plot is not what you'd expect, and instead becomes a beautiful plea to live one's dreams and give oneself the means to achieve them. The result is a lovely film full of good feelings, and its emotion is quite effective! Lambert Wilson and Grégory Gadebois have a lot to do with it. Both actors are delightful and take great pleasure in playing their characters, and it shows. Their chemistry is palpable and delights the viewer.
However, it should be borne in mind that Les Choses Simples is a film more suited to an older audience, and may not be suitable for the whole family, or even the youngest.
Vincent is a successful entrepreneur. One day, a car breakdown on a mountain road temporarily interrupts his frantic race. Pierre, who lives away from the modern world in the midst of sublime nature, comes to his aid and offers him hospitality. The meeting between these two men, who have nothing in common, overturns their respective certainties. And they find themselves laughing. But are they really living the lives they want to live?
