Think the visual stylings of Jacques Tati and Michel Gondry—and a little Jerry Lewis—crossed with the wit of Charlie Kaufman, and you may be able to conjure the worlds created by French national treasure Albert Dupontel. Political and social critique, laugh-out-loud verbal comedy, farce, fantasy, and genuine emotion are all to be found in his visually inventive tale.
Forty-ish Suze (Virginie Efira) is dying, and desperate to find the child she was forced to give up for adoption. Jean-Baptiste (Dupontel) is an aging IT genius who is fired for being "too old.” After Jean-Baptiste’s suicide attempt goes awry and wounds the civil servant dealing with Suze’s inquiries, Jean-Baptiste and Suze are thrown together in a quest to find her child and clear J-B’s name. When a blind archivist (Nicolas Marié) joins the hunt, sublime madness ensues. “Adapting to a world of maniacs is not a triumph,” says Jean-Baptiste, and that perfectly sums up this fabulous film’s world view.
Bye Bye Morons is
a movie made by Albert Dupontel with Albert Dupontel, Viriginie Efira and Nicolas Marié.
