Trailer
Why watch this film?
The movie takes a meta-linguistic start - a movie about the making of a movie - to introduce Jean Renault, an actor who can no longer get big roles in TV and cinema. From there, it builds a surreal story, full of humor and mystery, with a good dash of Agatha Christie. Nearly complete entertainment.

Jean, a 40-year-old unemployed actor, has hit rock bottom. Insufferably clueless and egotistical, his over-the-top “method” acting and high-maintenance personality have gotten him fired from countless jobs. At the unemployment office, his counselor has a rather odd proposal: he can get a job helping the police reconstruct crime scenes, by standing in for the dead victim. Jean's obsession for detail impresses the beautiful chief investigator, allowing him to take a leading role in a double-murder investigation at a ritzy ski resort.

Mama Weed
Isabelle Huppert doesn't mess around and in 'La daronne' it's no different. The brilliant French actress stands out in practically all her characters and this comedy is hilarious. Huppert leaves morality aside in this story, which follows a translator who works for the police and ends up getting involved with drug trafficking. This movie is politically incorrect in so many ways that it's wonderful. Can we agree that in comedy almost anything goes? Director Jean-Paul Salomé certainly took this seriously and didn't spare any criticism of society and stereotypes. 'La daronne' is a production that isn't taken seriously and to be enjoyed, it requires viewers to embark on this journey.

The Sitting Duck
Winner of the Best Movie award at the Venice Horizons showcase in 2022, 'A Sindicalista' is an absolute must-watch for those seeking a great drama and suspense based on a true story. Directed by Jean-Paul Salomé, the feature film tells the story of Maureen Kearney, a brave union representative who exposed secret deals in the French nuclear industry. Isabelle Huppert's unparalleled performance stands out in the film, which also exposes how women are often discredited by society and justice when they report and denounce the violence they suffer.

How to Deal with a Heartbreak
Sequel to the successful Peruvian romantic comedy "Soltera codiciada" from 2018. In How to Deal with a Heartbreak, we pick up the story of María Fe (Gisela Ponce de León), who seems to be going through her best moment... until the pandemic arrives. Struggling with creative block but committed to writing a second book for a publisher, she faces an existential crisis in the worst possible way. This sequel is interesting because it takes into consideration how the pandemic affected an entire generation both professionally and economically. However, the narrative isn't as effective as the first one, as it tends to get lost in unnecessary detours and twists. You'll enjoy it if you liked the original.
