Everything Went Fine

"Subject matter delicate and treated as taboo in many places, euthanasia is a topic that, every now and then, appears in the movies - from the shocking plot twist of 'Million Dollar Baby' to the surprisingly powerful 'Paddleton'. In 'Tout s'est bien passé', the theme is treated with a certain lightness, although the harshness is there, by François Ozon. Prolific French director, he addresses the theme from the story of an elderly man (André Dussollier) who, after suffering a stroke, asks his daughter (Sophie Marceau) to help him go through a euthanasia process. From this, Ozon revisits the ghosts of grief, the fear of death and, above all, pokes at the way nations treat the theme - which includes France which, despite being one of the most liberal countries in customs, sees euthanasia in a negative way. It's not a deep movie like 'Million Dollar Baby' or touching like 'Paddleton', but it helps to give a new look to this subject that requires more and more discussions around it."
