It was important for the director not to take an actor who would “play” smart. He states in the press kit: “We went wild casting and fell in love with Joachim Arsegel. It was the first we saw and the last, the only one! A fact more obvious to us than to him: he did not want to participate in the film. It was his speech therapist who pushed him to audition.”

A film about tolerance with the famous Jose Garcia

Thus, islander29 writes: “JI often had tears in my eyes (I know the learning environment), but I smiled a few times. Jose Garcia is very comfortable in the role of theater professor Devarso. In the main role, Joachim Arsegneli plays the clumsy student with great accuracy. Tom Meusnier is excellent as the female friend, and our Attica plays Colin’s charming mother.

The film is both realistic and romantic, sometimes reminiscent Dead Poets Circle from Peter Weir, with whom the audience could find psychological and educational similarities. This is a film that I especially recommend to students who have doubts… quite constructive.

My little complaint? Not very nice lighting in the staging… but that’s just a detail. In short, don’t hesitate to see it!”

For Cory Bernard, Le Panache is “A good film with lovable characters who play their roles well. We follow with interest the difficult journey of this young teenager of divorced parents, who is able to overcome physical and psychological handicaps thanks to his French and theater teacher, perfectly interpreted by José. GARCIA, the director, was able to make this film shoot and use established situations quite realistically and thus give this movie a thumbs up for tolerance and a certain panache about transcending oneself.’

Kyu F rates the movie 3.5 and comments: “Since then middle man The director once again offers us a film full of good intentions and passion, Le Panache. A well thought out story performed by actors who bring their characters to life perfectly. The production is sometimes surprising, with beautiful colors and really nice plan ideas.

The humor works as well as the dramatic side, even if we stick to a narrative structure that doesn’t take too many risks. Le Panache is a lively film full of life and good intentions, made with passion that is worth a detour.”

for burkelphilip, “This is a film about tolerance and self-transcendence, respect for teachers. Jose Garcia is raising a talented theater class.”

A cliche scenario

Other viewers, on the other hand, bemoan the script, which is a little too predictable and clichéd (18% of comments), such as Domville, who writes:First, there’s the downside, with a completely predictable plot that gathers the usual clichés: a war between two schools, a mother overprotective of her son, uptight Catholic parents and teachers, from homosexuality to disability…

But despite everything, a positive side emerges, if only by the quality of the use of theater and the very good integration of Cyrano’s poems, which cleverly confront reality. And above all, the young actors are fantastic, and José García has once again shown his immense talent.”

Marite Cilalon “I liked the plot of this film, which tells about the life of a teenager in a family and school. A story with no big surprises that leads to a rather fitting happy ending.”

For Chloé V., on the other hand, it’s “A lazy and simplistic film that looks at other great films (Dead Poets Circle, Will Hunting…) but which never really gets going.

Finally, Arthur44 comments: “A confused script for a disappointing film that can’t clearly choose its theme: a dirty teenager who wants to do theater, perhaps for the love of a friend; parents separated without explaining the reasons; a teacher who breaks the established order of the school with his free theater lessons; And the best friend’s homosexuality… In short, we’re a bit lost, with no real emotion until the end, despite Jose Garcia’s impeccable acting as usual..”

At the end, the audience appreciates the game Jose Garcia And a caring story, as well as themes of self-acceptance and transcendence, but a scenario of regret that is at times too ordinary and clichéd.
