So there's this award winning comedy...
French 75 are a reasonable success revolutionary group that gets into compounds and frees people, with two of them hooking up, although one army dude has his eye on the woman. Cut to 16 years later, and the army guy is still after them, only now the woman is "dead" (ie she isn't) and the man is buzzed out of his mind, and his daughter gets taken by the army dude. The man struggles to remember how to operate in this world, and the army guy is just trying to get in with racists.
It's a "dark comedy" so no wonder I didn't smile once. Is this supposed to be old men's fantasy of a) a pregnant woman with a machine gun, and b) becoming a hero to rescue your daughter? 'cos that's certainly what the trailer was focusing on. I can't say anyone's performance blew me away, but I do like how some various come-uppances were subverted, but...
A nearly three hours, I can't say I saw the point of this movie.
