Vincent De Dien was caught in a big lie: this is a comedy that I am not a hero to see in the cinema

what are you talking about

Louis is a very nice guy. And in his law office, that’s not a compliment. The day the doctor mistakenly diagnoses him with a serious illness, the world view of others changes: we pay attention to him, ask questions and listen to the answers, Louis finally exists! So he is obviously hesitant to say that it works great.

The title evokes one of Daniel Balavoin’s songs, but this is not a biopic. And the hit was never made in the first feature film of actor Rudy Milstein, who is most notably seen in Guinea Pigs and who appears in this comedy directed by Vincent De Dien.

Scary Jungle or I Love Greece headlines with Catherine Deneuve, then Stacey Martin, who formed a hilarious duet with Jonathan Cohen in La Flamme, is alone in the foreground here. In the boy’s shoes “super good”, the summary tells us. So much so that he never knows where to go and becomes invisible enough that the sensor that turns on the light in the toilet can’t detect his presence.

But everything changes when he is diagnosed with cancer. So much so that her boss, played by Clemens Poesy, finally starts to consider her and treat her well. It’s enough that he can’t admit the medical malpractice he was a victim of and that everything is fine.

As for him, this activist (Geraldine Nakache) whom he admires while his law firm is working on a potential scandal related to the use of pesticides, which he is fighting against.

Between this man who tries to be nice to everyone and this woman who speaks without a filter, their scenes together are sparkly. In a comedy influenced by films such as Four Weddings and a Funeral, To Be or Not to Be or Even Victoria by Justin Triet.

Feature films that, like I’m Not a Hero, don’t feel obligated to indulge in stupidity and negativity. However, the film does not mix kindness and naivety, because it is a bit satirical.

By showing how big companies soothe their consciences with cases like Lewis, while some of their leaders know they are on the wrong side of the fence but fail to act.

A small touch of darkness and bitterness in the story, which gives pride of place to the humor and lightness. Well helped by the comic timing of Vincent Dedin, who the cinema should offer more roles.
