Partly a reflection on life and legacy, partly a playful skewering of contemporary society, the latest from Canadian icon Denys Arcand is a touching comedy with a lot of heart.
Jean-Michel, a 73-year-old bachelor, lives in a retirement home. His world is shaken up by the sudden arrival of young political activists campaigning for the removal of an ancient fresco in the facility. As Jean-Michel is progressively losing faith in a world dominated by political correctness, he realises his unsuspected love for Suzanne, the manager of the retirement home.
"Arcand’s genius is in every frame of this movie."
