C’est Magnifique!

C’est Magnifique!

Pierre, in his forties, has always lived far from the disorder of the world, between his bees and his hibiscus. When his parents disappear, his whole world changes: he discovers that he has been adopted and must learn to survive in a modern society he has never known. Determined to elucidate the mystery of his origins, he crosses the path of Anna who, touched by the benevolence of this man not like the others, agrees to help him. But as he progresses in his investigation, Pierre discolors himself as if by magic.

Reviews

In an atmosphere between the tale and a harsh reality, these characters meet, in their poetry and their imperfections.
(…)
A lot of kindness.

In this film, which borrows from fantasy, director Clovis Cornillac (who also plays the main character) praises candor and goodness.

Geneviève Bouchard — Le Soleil

This tale seduces with its disarming tenderness, and its retro colors in the Amelie Poulain style… A Candy.

La Rédaction — Femme Actuelle

Mixed with tenderness, humanity and cocasserie, the film seduces with its main duo (Cornillac and Alice Pol), its quaint charm and the themes it addresses, such as the quest for self, love or the place we occupy in the world.

Émilie Léoni — Télé Loisirs

With C’est Magnifique! Clovis Cornillac plays the card of candor to evoke with a certain irony of societal themes, inviting us to a radiant comedy that makes us see life from a fairy angle through a gently offbeat, eminently sympathetic existential quest.

No war, no violence, no malice, no malice, no other atrocity… For his third feature film as a director, Clovis Cornillac did not deviate from his rule of never succumbing, in his films, to the temptation to tell evil.

Visually, the film, very graphic, very colorful is an enchantment. He evokes certain storybooks. We’ve got plenty of crumbs. You will be amazed by the know-how of the photo director, especially when Pierre, who loses his colors, turns sepia then black and white.

Dominique Poncet — Culture-Tops

If you enjoy family comedy, the film is great entertainment that will make you laugh.
