يانيك

Quentin Dupieux's absurd, disjointed and fanciful humour gives way here to the absurdity of the situation in a palpable reality. A radical change of tone compared to his previous films that really feels good. Touching, sincere and magical, Yannick is a breath of fresh air in a world of comedy that is constantly muttering. Social criticism, comedy criticism, criticism of the public, criticism of the creator in his relationship to the work as well as the public. The actors are excellent in bad actor, the audience faithful to itself and Raphaël Quenard embodies so well a Yannick full of surprise and who with simple words summarizes so well the mediocre of the situation. Yannick is in the political background, the service is no longer satisfactory, the art is taken in hand by a representative of the people, a true pirate, passionate about sincerity, passionate about justice. And it does better, gives meaning and reminds us that we sleep, we're asleep. But how long has it been? An echo more than real with our life, our situation in front of the ambient mediocrity. The finale is as magnificent as it is frightening in its latest plan, a confrontation of reality and a system that is complete in its status quo confronting the underlying violence of society. But we do not have to see this aspect to get a kick, Yannick is simple, funny, really funny and especially really well done. Personally I love Quentin's films, but it's hard to see for someone who doesn't usually like the absurd. Here the form, like history, everyone can follow it, everyone can understand and it is done brilliantly, a true little subversive and sincere jewel, to see urgently.
