“Intellectual feel-good comedy”: Rated 4.1 out of 5, this is the best movie starring Bernard Campagne

After a few months and more similarities, the multi-awarded comedy at the Alpe d’Huez festival, Bernard Campagne returns to the cinema in a very distant register, a drama with emotion and tenderness. The actor, revealed by comedy group Les Inconnus, headlines The Child Who Measured World alongside young Raphael Brotier, in the shoes of an autistic child.

Bernard Campan had already excelled in the dramatic register, especially in memorizing beautiful things. Here, the actor takes us once again to a dramatic film, in which the actor conveys his light and tenderness as the story unfolds and he grows closer to his family on this Greek island.

Which is the highest rated movie in his filmography? The movie Almost, released in 2022 and directed by Alexander Jolin, is in first place with a rating of 4.1 out of 5 (2656 ratings, 354 reviews).

It’s almost a story of two men who make their way from Lausanne to the south of France by car. They don’t know each other very well, they have little in common or so they think…

If we first believe that we have a certain feeling of “déjà vu” when we read this word, we very quickly succumbed to this unexpected tandem. Almost puts together an extremely cute duo that takes us from laughter to tears in no time. The co-starring of Bernard Campani and Alexandre Jolin (the real one) shines on screen and gives this bittersweet comedy an extra touch of sincerity and soul that makes this film a pleasant surprise.

A small selection of internet reviews:

Mr. Cinematoque (5/5):An intellectual comedy that feels good, as they say in French, about dramatic themes and not glamorous at the beginning, exclusion, infantilization or indifference towards physically disabled people and meeting a person who works in the world of funeral directors. A funny road movie full of tenderness and good feelings, a hymn to altruism and optimism in the face of life, which passes no matter what we face. A beautiful story of friendship that touches the heart. Five stars because the idea behind this little movie makes it almost a masterpiece.“

Joel G (4/5):human. Costs. without complacency. But without sinking into the pathological. In short, a film that makes you think about our views on others, those who are different.“

(4/5): “It’s almost a film that confronts the audience with how we view disability. Filled with funny scenes and sometimes a little bit of scabby, moving scenes, this movie is a fully assumed “good movie” that knows not to go into territories that might make you uncomfortable, be it vulgarity or pathos. .“
