Problems : one of the best comedies of recent years
If we had done a poll at the end of 2017 to find out which was the best comedy of the year, few would have mentioned Problems (2017). Not that Eric Judor’s film doesn’t deserve this title, on the contrary. But when it was released in theaters on May 10, 2017, the feature film didn’t attract many people. After nine weeks of activity, Problems he had only accumulated 192,758 registrations in France. You therefore had to be among this small handful of spectators to know how funny, and above all prescient, this comedy is.
In fact, Problems takes place as Victor (Eric Judor) and his partner (Jeanne (Célia Rosich) prepare to return to Paris after vacation. Along the way, they decide to stop to see their friend Jean-Paul who lives in Paris. a ZAD, with a community fighting against modern society, individualism and technologies, and above all the construction of a water park. The kind of cool girls whose lifestyle will seduce Jeanne, while Victor will remain more skeptical, even mocking. Except that this “little corner of paradise” will be turned upside down when they understand ita pandemic has decimated the entire population and who are now the last survivors.
A second life on Netflix during the pandemic
So that’s fine before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic and the confinement that followed (2020) in which Eric Judor imagined this situation. A visionary side that the director had not foreseen at all, just like Noé Debré and Blanche Gardin in the screenplay. That didn’t stop the comedian from having fun afterwards, saying he’s wanted to write ever since “extremely benevolent things, where nothing particularly serious happens, so as not to force the gift if it is“.
But since few people had discovered it Problems in theaters, this coincidence might have gone unnoticed. It was without counting on Netflix which gave a second life to the comedy. In the midst of a health crisis, the feature film was made a place in the top 10 of the platform (AS Infection). This is what was observed BFMTV in his article dated September 14, 2021. A wider audience then received the film very positively and validated its countless cult replicassome of which come from Blanche Gardin, excellent in Problems. Finally, this increase in popularity has made this possible too reveal Claire Chust (Maéva), hilarious even in the role of an unintelligent little girl. All inclusive the pure style of Eric Judorwho as usual doesn’t hesitate to play the “bad role”, a bit of a bastard, with a humor that plays brilliantly on the discomfort he causes.
