It is the greatest French success abroad: this film Sf Cartonne on Netflix in the United States

An improbable success that has become a global phenomenon

With LucyLuc Besson has signed a science fiction film as disconcerting as profitable. Produced for $ 40 million, the film transported by Scarlett Johansson had brought over 450 million around the world, largely internationally. An absolute record for a French film, which is not yet equal today. The tone? A young woman exposed to an experimental drug sees ten mental skills until it reaches … 100 % of the use of her brain.

The scenario had something to do. Overall criticism also welcomed it with a mixture of perplexity and curiosity – 67 % of positive opinions on rotting tomatoes and a consensus around the “absurd but effective” qualifier. However, the public had followed. Scarlett Johansson, in full post-climbAvengersattracted crazy. And Besson, despite a divisive style, found his old visual efficacy there, between pure action scenes and metaphysical disappointments.

Eleven years later, Lucy Seduced again on Netflix

From mid -April, Lucy Figures in the first 10 most viewed films on Netflix in the United States, according to data from Flixpatrol. An unexpected turning point for a film has published more than a decade, without particular news. Nor re -emerge, no continuation or promo. Only a renewed spontaneous interest, driven by the algorithm and, probably, by the promise of simple and spectacular entertainment and transported by a still bankable star.

The return of Lucy It intervenes when Luc Besson remains largely behind the sector. Accused on several occasions of inappropriate behavior, therefore bleached due to lack of evidence, the director struggles to return to the front of the stage. His latest ambitious project, ValerianHe caused a critical and commercial failure. Still, Lucy Resist. Because his fascinated excesses. Because a film that begins as urban thriller and ends up in the cosmic hallucination can still seduce – or intrigues – an audience looking for immediate sensations.

In the absence of logic, Lucy Offer of rhythm, a magnetic actress and a staging that never asks the viewer to think too much. It’s not a masterpiece, but it’s a success. And sometimes, on Netflix, it’s enough.
