☞THE MOVIE:

When Suze Trappet learns at age 43 that she is seriously ill, she decides to go in search of the child she was forced to abandon when she was 15. Her administrative quest will bring her face to face with JB, a 50-year-old man in full burn-out, and Mr. Blin, a blind archivist of impressive enthusiasm. Together, the three of them embark on a quest as spectacular as it is improbable. – Synopsis

BYE BYE MORONS takes its inspiration directly from Terry Gilliam (BRAZIL), while gaining visual prowess and large screen effects: humanist, enjoyable and really fun. – Cinemania

Surely heavily influenced by Terry Gilliam’s Brazil (who makes his third Dupontel film cameo), Adieu shrouds its critiques and Dupontel’s perceived incompetence’s of French society – from its government and its bureaucracy, to its violent police force, blanket digital surveillance, anonymising architecture and dehumanising system – under the guise of a burlesque comedy. – The Curb
