Bye Bye Morons
Adieu les Cons – New Release A French comedy-drama that morphs into an unexpected romance-drama, where an unlikely trio set off on a hilarious and poignant helter-skelter journey through Paris in search of a long-lost child. A seriously ill woman tries to find her long-lost child with the help of a man in the middle of a burnout, and a blind archivist. The film follows Suze Trappet (Virginie Efira), a 45-yearold hairdresser diagnosed with an auto-immune disease that leaves her little time to live. Her longing (and now dying) wish is to meet the child she gave up for adoption when she was merely 15-years-old. On her madcap bureaucratic quest she crosses paths with JB (Albert Dupontel), a 50-year-old man in the middle of a burnout, and Mr Blin (Nicolas Marié), a blind archivist prone to over-enthusiasm. With its autumn-coloured grading, cleverly linked dialogue and successful running jokes, writer-director Albert Dupontel creates a heartwarming film that touches on themes of life, death, and love.
