“Today is a bit of a special day: I think I need to rethink everything”In the opening scene, 38-year-old Max (Max Boublil) proclaims, discovering dozens of VHSs scattered across his desk. At the age of 13, in 1993, he received a camera from his parents (Noémie Lvovsky and Alain Chabat, flawless). Fascinated by the camera, he never stopped filming: his friends, his first loves, his outbursts, his biggest blunders and successes. From the ’90s to 2010, this video addict has compiled the history of his existence in dozens of tapes.
Supported by his friend, director Anthony Marciano, the film’s co-writer Max Boublil brings us to the intimacy of a teenager like himself, born in 1979. And under the guise of a schoolboy, video sequences tell about the biggest events and events. happy or dramatic social realities of his generation: the 1998 World Football Cup, the transition to 2000, but also the rise of the far right and the instability of youth. In terms of emotion and nostalgia, if this comedy hits the mark, it’s because it conveys some of his own memories, such as the conflict the comedian had the day he got his license! With an excellent soundtrack, Max Boublil revisits slices of life he savored like Proust’s madeleines. Hence the success of this generational comedy that finally appeals to everyone.
