Why watch this film?
French actor Alain Chabat stars in this funny comedy that makes a good critique of the culture of virtual influencers. '#JeSuisLà' is reminiscent of Steven Spielberg's movie 'The Terminal', in which Tom Hanks plays a refugee stuck in New York's airport. The same happens with Chabat, only the region changes, he is a French chef who gets stuck in Seoul, South Korea, and becomes famous on the internet. Another movie that can be likened to this one is 'Lost in Translation' by Sofia Coppola. Combining these two films, we have 'How I Became Famous in Korea'. It's a good comedy, which manages to be light and keep viewers hooked. In addition to Chabat, another familiar face is Doona Bae, who became known for 'Sense 8' and also for starring in 'Barking Dogs Never Bite' and 'The Host', both by Bong Joon Ho, director of 'Parasite'.

Paint
Loosely inspired by the iconic Bob Ross, "Paint" is a comedy starring Owen Wilson as Carl Nargle, a kind-hearted painter who hosts his own show on public television and seems to have it all (even the attention of many women) until he gets replaced. With a tone of ironic yet subdued comedy, in the vein of "Napoleon Dynamite" or Wes Anderson's films, the movie provides a complex portrait of its protagonist, though stumbling in its presentation of the rest of the characters. Nonetheless, it's an entertaining tale about learning to find our place when we think we've lost what's most valuable in our lives.

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.
