We didn’t think we would one day hear his voice in the movies, and yet, he’s definitely in this animated movie!

what are you talking about

In a prehistory doomed never to unfold, a father and his daughter conflict disrupt their Stone Age routine. Returning to the future, they accidentally return the equivalent of an Ikea key, which ultimately leads to an evolution, for the better and especially for the worse.

The prehistory of life

In 2009, bookstores saw an arrival More development to get moreThe first volume of the comic series Flint and the citySigned Yule (second). Three years later, Arte began airing his television adaptation in short form, where each episode transports elements of our everyday lives into a pseudo-prehistoric world.

A saga that sees the bigger picture today. As well as the screen size on which Silex and the City – The Film, the first full-length film based on Yule’s work (the second, ever) will air. which maintains the visual style and parodic tone, suggests a sequence in the future (or our present) in actual footage, but does not resemble end-to-end episodes.

No, there is an actual story, written by Julie and her co-director Jean-Paul Gigg, who are already involved in the series. Which, in the background of evolution and change, talks about capitalism or religion, among other things, that arise in this prehistoric world with a bent key, which the main characters have returned from a trip to the future.

Orchestrating the opening encounter of The Flintstones and 2001, A Space Odyssey, Silex and the City spawns situations that inevitably bring something to mind.

With quasi-subliminal images of Donald Trump, Roman Polanski or Harvey Weinstein moving from the past to the present and lots of puns (we can attend matches of Primates Saint-Germain).

Without forgetting the cinematic references. “Where we go, we don’t need a wheel”exclaims one of the characters. While others are excited by the films of Iguana Bergman or Anchou Truffaut.

Lovers of humor and calamus can therefore be sure: there is no shortage of feature films. And it is full of them and borders on wetlands, which threatens to limit its access to part of the community.

Already the youngest. The film is neither violent, nor sexual, nor particularly crude. But the subjects it deals with and its predominantly verbal humor mean it risks being misunderstood by viewers under 10 or 12 (already the recommended minimum age for the series). Likewise, some adults, faced with an almost non-stop stream, may lose track and miss some of the cues.

Mr. President

But we wouldn’t fault the film for its generosity. including the voice transmission side. Along with Franck Ekinich, Camille Serso and Noémie de Latre, who have already voiced the characters of the series, we can sometimes meet on stage Raphael Cuenard, Félix Moat, Nina Meurice, Denis Menochet, Bruno Solo, Lea Drucker, Stéphane Bern, Léa Salame or even… François Hollande.

Accompanied by former President of the Republic Julie Gaye, she lends her voice to the first bacterium that appears at the beginning and end of the story to tell this story of change.

The look is so striking that we think it’s an imitation before the credits roll to confirm that it’s really him. In a role other than himself, as this is not the first time in a film.

One of the most unexpected surprises in a funny and colorful film that is not missing. Nothing but humor and ideas. Fans will no doubt be over the moon, and newcomers can discover a world they want to immerse themselves in more fully, on paper or on the small screen.
