Tonight on TV: An overlooked comedy that deserves a session

After recording 162,370 hits on its release in 2019, Selfie, which aired tonight on France 2, deserves a session.

Co-produced by Thomas Bidegin, Marc Fitus, Tristan Aurouet, Cyril Gelblatt and Vianney Lebasque, the film consists of five sketches that, based on an original idea by co-producer and screenwriter Julien Sibon, explore different aspects. Our relationship with new technologies. Addict or technophobe, at home or at school, at work or in romantic relationships, Selfie It tells about the fate of Homo Numericus, who is on the verge of a nervous breakdown…

Apart from the comic aspect, Selfie – as its title suggests – it has both a satirical and poignant mirror effect. The screenwriting team (which includes Hélène Lombard, Bertrand Soulier, Giulio Callegar, and Noé Debré) hits where it hurts, pinpointing the toxic intrusion of digital technology into our lives.
Poignant, the message gets through, especially thanks to the performances of the comedians, comedians Manu Payet, Max Bublil and Blanche Gardin, Elsa Silberstein or even Finnegan Oldfield, Sébastien Chassan and Fanny Sidney.
