Netflix subscribers are tempted by the romantic comedy Ami-Ami, which was released in 2018, and only gathered 156,402 viewers in theaters. Today, the film was rediscovered on the platform, where it ranks 2nd among the best films in France! The casting of Jonathan Cohen, who has since become a French comedy star, is perhaps not in vain…
Ami-Ami sees Vincent (William Lebgill) abandon his entire life as a couple after breaking up with his girlfriend and move in with his best friend Nefelis (Margot Bencilhon), a young party-goer lawyer. Their complicity is obvious, but Vincent’s meeting with Julie (Camille Razat) changes everything.
Jonathan Cohen doesn’t have the lead role in this film, but Frederic, the hero’s friend who tries to give him life advice when he really isn’t doing any better. He’s not far from stealing most of the scenes he appears in, so his comic cadence and his catchphrases are devastating.
However, it would be unfair to say that the Lebghil-Bancilhon duo will not work, because their relationship and their “400 blows” scenes are one of the highlights of this romantic comedy, like no other. Ami-Ami dares things, puts the audience on the wrong foot, tries to stand out sometimes unsuccessfully, sometimes for the better, and deserves to be rediscovered.

It is the only feature film of Victor Saint-Macard, who is also a screenwriter and a few months earlier signed the comedy Le Brio, with Camelia Jordana and Daniel Otteville, which showed the preparation of a young woman. Eloquence contest.
To see Jonathan Cohen again, you’ll have to wait until September 8 to discover Sentinel, a detective comedy available on Amazon Prime Video:
