We will go: the revelation of Enya Baroux (critic)
An inflated and endearing comedy on assisted suicide, awarded at the Alpe d’Huez.
The next room Almodovar, The last breath de Costa-Gavras … Death and more precisely the way of living or provoking the last straight line of his existence appears as the theme of this early 2025. Because for his first long, Enya Baroux (revealed by the series Blue flower that she co-created) also chose this land but from another angle, much more breaker, that of comedy.
Nothing spontaneously lends to smile spontaneously in front of the situation of her heroine, an octogenarian devoured by cancer who has become incurable who decided to go to Switzerland put an end to her life but fails to announce it to his son and his little daughter. She then pretends, so that they accompany him in this final trip, an improbable heritage to recover from the other side of the Alps in a motorhome led by a life assistant encountered on the eve.
Influence – claimed and fully assumed to Little Miss Sunshine – Plane on this road movie with finely chopped writing. Both in the clever management of misunderstandings and in its talent to find each time a different way of ending the different sub -intrigues that populate this story. The balance between laughter and tears does not seem to be artificial or forced here.
Like the very finesse interpretation of her quartet of performers: Hélène Vincent and Juliette Gasquet (already irresistible in Young and GOLRI And Fiasco), awarded at the Alpe d’Huez, Pierre Lottin and David Alaya (Mercy). The French Comedy will have to count with Enya Baroux.
From Enya Baroux. With Hélène Vincent, Pierre Lottin, David Alalya… Duration 1h37. Released on March 12, 2025.
