Yvan Attal is back in the saddle with brio (critic)
In 2017, a year after the discordant they are everywhere, Yvan Attal offered brilliant a comedy of reconciliation. We prefer.
The brilliance will be rebroadcast this Monday on France 3. When it was released, First had liked this film by Yvan Attal for which Camélia Jordana received the César for best female hope.

In 2016, Yvan Attal was venerated. Attest They are everywherehis corrosive comedy, sometimes embarrassing, on the resurgence of anti -Semitism in France. In 2017, it seems to be better. Yet, The brilliance Badly starts, with the presentation of a obnoxious character as a law of law to Assas, reacts and Islamophobic, who humiliates in public a student from a city. Faced with unanimously outraged reactions and the threat of exclusion, Pierre Mazard is forced to take the fierce Neïla Salah under his wing to prepare it for the annual eloquence competition. The film recounts the taming of one by the other – and vice versa – with all that that has final anger and pardons played in advance.
On a thread
Agreed? Boat ? Yes, The brilliance constantly flirts with the yellow line of politically correct and Beat ecumenism which raises fears of a new Primary. Yes, but there are these tasty dialogues (brilliant at times) inspired by philosophy and rhetoric of courtroom. This treatment at a good distance from characters prisoner of their condition (he, the cynical intellectual of the beautiful districts, the suburbs guilty of rising socially). This skillful and fun way to contradict the feelings that stir up the protagonists. Finally, and above all, and above all, a duo of formidable actors, the Placide Daniel Auteuil and the electric Camélia Jordana, the latter confirming from film a beautiful nature of cinema.
