Released in 2012, Mes Héros is a family comedy directed and written by Éric Besnard(600 kilos of pure gold). The film stars three iconic figures from French cinema: Josiane Balasko(Le Père Noël est une ordure), Gérard Jugnot(Les Choristes) and Clovis Cornillac(Un peu, beaucoup, aveuglément). This dramatic comedy plunges us into a story of family reunion, tinged with moments that are both funny and touching. The film deals sensitively with relationships between generations, the search for meaning in a hectic life, and the small joys of life.
Maxime(Clovis Cornillac) is an overworked businessman who devotes all his time to saving his ambulance company, to the detriment of his family life. When he learns that his mother, Olga(Josiane Balasko), is in police custody after an altercation, he rushes to get her out. But instead of thanking him, his mother reproaches him for his intervention. Olga, a strong-willed woman, has had another argument with her husband Jacques(Gérard Jugnot). Maxime decides to take his mother home, hoping to spend a weekend away from his professional responsibilities. With his parents, who have loved each other as much as they've fought for forty years, Maxime rediscovers the simple joys of life and reconnects with his roots. This return to his roots allows him to take a step back from his own existence, while experiencing warm and funny moments with his parents.
Mes Héros is first and foremost a comedy aimed at family audiences, especially those who appreciate stories that explore intergenerational relationships. The film charms with its tender look at family ties, while offering both funny and moving scenes. The presence of Josiane Balasko and Gérard Jugnot, two giants of French comedy, brings a unique authenticity and dynamic to the screen. The film is reminiscent of touching comedies such as La Famille Bélier and Le Petit Nicolas, where parent-child relationships are at the heart of the story. With its blend of lightness and reflection, Mes Héros will appeal as much to fans of tender comedies as to those who enjoy stories about everyday life.
Mes Héros is a gentle, heartwarming comedy that celebrates family, small pleasures and reunions. The energetic performance of Josiane Balasko and Gérard Jugnot, combined with that of Clovis Cornillac, make it a joyful interlude in a sometimes difficult everyday life.
