Adieu Les Cons
Comedy drama starring Virginie Efira as a seriously ill woman who – accompanied by a blind archivist and a man in the middle of a burnout – goes in search of her son.
Suze Trappet is terminally ill, and she is going to make her last remaining days count. Determined to find the son she was forced to abandon almost three decades ago, Suze sets out on a madcap quest that is filled with adventure, peril and bewildering encounters.
This crowd-pleasing film by director/actor Albert Dupontel blends dark humour, social satire and tragedy into a frenetic and fast-paced story that leaves audiences delightfully giddy by its twists and turns. As a testament to its wildly entertaining characters and plot, ADIEU LES CONS conquered the French box office in 2020 despite being released at the height of the curfews. In 2021, it won seven Césars (the French Oscars), including the ones for best film, best director and best original scenario.
