Franck Dubosc returns behind the camera with Un ours dans le Jura, a promising dark comedy in which he shares the screen with Laure Calamy and Benoît Poelvoorde. This time, Dubosc moves away from popular comedies to venture into darker, more intriguing territory, combining wry humor and thriller. Set in the peaceful but rugged Jura mountains, the story follows Michel and Cathy, a couple in the throes of disillusionment, who find themselves unwillingly plunged into a situation that is both absurd and dangerous. Between moral dilemma and irresistible temptation, the film questions human values and relationships in a context of intense tension.
Un ours dans le Jura will be released in French cinemas from January 1, 2025.
Synopsis: Michel and Cathy, a couple worn down by time and financial difficulties, don't really talk to each other anymore. Until the day Michel, trying to avoid a bear on the road, hits a car and kills both occupants. With 2 dead and 2 million in used banknotes in the trunk, it's bound to make you want to talk again. And, above all, to keep quiet.
Un ours dans le Jura may appeal to fans of dark comedies and thriller-style stories, reminiscent of films like Raphaël Jacoulot's Coup de chaud or Les Petits Mouchoirs for its study of human relationships, but with a dark twist. Viewers who appreciate characters in the throes of moral dilemmas, mixing suspense and wry humor, should find it to their liking. Franck Dubosc and Laure Calamy, both known for their comedic and dramatic talents, seem to rise to the challenge of playing realistic characters faced with complex choices, oscillating between loyalty and temptation. On the other hand, those who prefer a lighter comedy or a pure, humorless thriller may be put off by the film's hybrid approach.
With Un ours dans le Jura, Franck Dubosc seems to be exploring new horizons, mixing humor and suspense in an unexpected setting. Accompanied by Laure Calamy and Benoît Poelvoorde, he offers a plot that should captivate fans of gritty comedy and tense storytelling. Set in the atypical Jura region, the film could appeal to those who enjoy dark comedies centered on characters in crisis, while tackling profound themes from an original angle.
