The wild bunch, bold cinematic rebels and adventurous films
FRANCE | 107 minutes | 2019
Jérem, a looser rapper (the excellent William Lebghil), meets Yves, an intelligent refrigerator. Not only does the machine help him eat better, it soon develops a real talent for rap, which quickly propels Jérem to stardom. Of course, there’s a price to be paid. This heavily ironic comedy gleefully demolishes our naively utopian view of artificial intelligence. It’s an edgy exercise in depressive humour: behind its fashionable pop-entertainment façade is a deep, dark dive into the ills of contemporary (and future) society. By the director of Gaz de France (2016), with, as a bonus, Philippe Katerine.NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE"A rapper and a refrigerator make ice ice baby in this outlandish French comedy." Hollywood Reporter"... deliberately outrageous comedy" Cineuropa« ... le film séduit par ses inventions scéniques, l’intelligence des dialogues et la folie douce des acteurs. » Le monde« Le fil de la comédie ne craque jamais (on rit aux éclats), les dialogues sont taillés au cutter, travaillés, les situations flirtent avec le burlesque. » l'Écran fantastique« Une farce singulière et rythmée aux accents politiques.» Télérama
