A Real Piece of Art.. in a World Driven by the Size of your Budget

by giorgos_protonotarios • 2015-09-28

9/10

"In a few words this movie is a real masterpiece. It is able to 'broadcast' so many beautiful messages via a surprising good sense of humor. It places the viewer in the position of various characters living a completely different life and facing controversial problems. And all that is accomplished in a real comedy way.. I have never thought what it feels like to be deaf, this movie allowed me to 'live' that situation for a few minutes. Isn't that the real meaning of filming? Placing viewers to positions that they couldn't be placed in real life..? I adored this..."

💡 Did You Know?

The song "Je vole" was written by Michel Sardou as a kind of suicide note of a teenager [as he explained in his autobiography]. In the movie the lyrics were slightly changed (except the refrain) to fit to the theme of the movie, which is leaving home for a career, not suicide.
