How «Le goût des autres» became a classic

LONG FORMAT ARTICLE, Lauriane Pipoz | It's 21 years after its release that I discover "Le goût des autres", the classic film by the winning duo Jean-Pierre Bacri - Agnès Jaoui. Many of you have already made up your minds about this masterpiece. I'd like to take the liberty of opening up a little by telling you what makes this comedy-drama, mixing liberated drug dealer, disillusioned ex-cop and print-obsessed bourgeoisie, so irresistible and unique.
A moving Mr Sim

A moving Mr Sim

In 2015, Jean-Pierre Bacri starred in an adaptation of Jonathan Coe's best-selling novel The Very Private Life of Mr. Sim. The film follows the journey of a fifty-year-old social misfit across France. Monsieur Sim struggles to find meaning in his life, and comes face to face with his past. At first glance, the story may not seem the most exciting for a film, but in the guise of our famous French movie star, the magic happens.
