Review of Les trois frères

In France, we have a tradition of humorists doing plays, shows, TV and then doing movies. A lot of times, they are less funny in the big screen so this movie is rather an exception. Here the band is called « the not known » (already a pun) and their movie is a great comedy and beyond a tremendous depiction of France and French people : for one time, the action takes place in Paris and in the country ! Their characters comes from different worlds and they interact with more diverse people. With all this, we can see this that France is not the peaceful paradise politics want it to be : french can be racists, blind to poverty or quick to denounce. On the other hand, the common people is cut from law and justice : it's a field for experts and nobody understands it. So that's the big paradox of this movie : under the laughs, it's an acid attack and everybody likes it ! But it's also a great film about familial values and has some great moving moments ! Twenty years later, they have a sequel : as the country has getting worst, it's should be interesting to see it and i hope they follow up the stories with the child and the lone mother they started here.
