A Difficult Year
What better way to start a year, than with a screening of a French “comedy of errors”? The creators of the iconic “Intouchables” – Olivier Nakache and Éric Toledano, are coming back with the new story about two men in a financial predicament of their own making and one uncompromising woman perfectly in control of her life, goals and values. Albert, Bruno and Kaktus, connect at the meeting of climate activists by a series of misleading actions, omissions and mistakes. In the course of their friendship, the men – up to their necks in debt – will learn from charming Kaktus, that the best and the most important things in life are free. The brilliant and light satire on modern consumerism hides the profound truth about the necessity of inner change in the world of predatory capitalism, conflicting politics and climate crisis. “A Difficult Year” stars Noémie Merlant (“Portrait of a Lady on Fire”, “Paris 13th Arrondissement”) and Mathieu Amalric (“An Officer and a Spy”, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”). In theaters from January 19.
