Why watch the movie A Difficult Year?
"A Difficult Year (Une Année Difficile) is a comedy directed by Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, best known for the hit French film The Intouchables. In this film, we follow two friends (Pio Marmaï and Jonathan Cohen), compulsive buyers drowning in debt. One day, while seeking help from social workers, they are lured by the prospect of free beer into an environmental activists’ protest, where they both become intrigued by a woman (Portrait of a Lady on Fire's Noémie Merlant), though they remain unconvinced by the movement. While the satire of excessive and selfish consumerism feels a bit mild, the film is highly entertaining thanks to the comedic duo of Marmaï and Cohen, keeping with the light-hearted and fun tone of The Intouchables."
