Prescription sur infidélité

0 Comments



André Dussolier, Sabina Azema et Thierry Lhermitte forment un triangle amoureux dans la dernière réalisation de Ivan Calberac (La dégustation, 2022). Dans cette comédie, un fonctionnaire retraité décide de se venger après avoir découvert l’infidélité de sa femme d’il y a 40 ans. Grâce au décalage de son personnage principal, Calberac signe une comédie sympathique.

François Mersault (André Dussolier) est ce que l’on appelle un homme droit dans ses bottes. Lieutenant dans l’armée française, il profite de sa retraite dorée avec sa femme (Sabina Azema), et ses 5 enfants qui viennent lui rendre visite. Alors qu’il souhaite réorganiser son grenier, il découvre un paquet de lettres enveloppé d’un ruban rouge. Quelle n’est pas sa stupéfaction quand il découvre des lettres d’amour destinées à sa femme. Le sang de l’ancien militaire ne fait qu’un tour et il décide d’aller régler son compte à l’amant, qui n’est autre qu’un ami de jeunesse (Thierry Lhermitte).

Il ne faut pas bouder son plaisir à revoir le duo Dussolier Azema sur grand écran. «N’avoue jamais» n’est autre que le douzième long métrage où les comédiens se donnent la réplique. En tête de liste, le succès grand public «Tanguy» (2002), où ils incarnaient un couple à bout de leur enfant-thésard de 27 ans, refusant de quitter le nid familial. Dans «N’avoue jamais», Dussolier campe brillamment ce retraité-réactionnaire aux idées bien arrêtées, et pourtant entouré de proches à la mentalité opposée à la sienne: sa fille est homosexuelle, ses enfants se fatiguent de son discours patriotique et l’ancien amant est adepte des relations libres…

Certes, l’ensemble apparaît parfois comme paresseux, mais l’on se délecte de voir ce lieutenant face à ses contradictions. Représentant d’une certaine pensée conservatrice, il voit ses ambitions réduites lorsqu’il se confronte à la réalité, comme lorsqu’il apprend que l’amant pratique le karaté. Le grand mérite de «N’avoue jamais» est de prouver que l’on peut s’amuser, dans une comédie populaire, des personnages réactionnaires sans pour autant tenir des propos malaisants.

GLADIATOR II OFFICIAL TRAILER What we do in life…. echoes in eternity as Paramount Pictures releases the official trailer for the upcoming sequel film Gladiator II. View trailer below.  Several decades after the events of Gladiator (2000), Lucius—the grandson of Rome’s former emperor Marcus Aurelius and son of Lucilla—lives with his wife and child in Numidia. Roman soldiers led by general Marcus Acacius invade, forcing Lucius into slavery. Inspired by the story of Maximus, as depicted in the original 2000 film, Lucius resolves to fight as a gladiator while opposing the rule of the young emperors Caracalla and Geta.   There has been a lot (and I do mean a lot) of hype for this particular project, with many clamoring for any type of tidbits and news from the movie. Now, the first official preview has dropped, and it does look glorious. Perhaps my biggest gripe about this movie is that the movie really feels superfluous. There is no doubt that the original film was spectacular and fantastic and continues to be timeless in its own cinematic right. It’s an incredible sold “one and done” movie that didn’t need a sequel or franchise built around it. It was just that good. So, why reopen something that was perfect on its own. I not saying that the sequel will bad (I pray that it isn’t), but it’s got a quite feat to try and overcome or even come close to cinematic greatness. Still, for better or worse, anticipation for this sequel project is paramount and I’m very much looking forward as to what Gladiator II has to offer. Basically, good or bad…. I’m excited for this movie.
