Lost in Frenchlation IS BACK. Bye Bye Morons, known in French as Adieu Les Cons, premiered in France in October 2020 and has received twelve nominations at the 46th César Awards. The film is dedicated to former Monty Python member Terry Jones, who died in 2020. Limited tickets – book yours now ❗️
☞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

The screening will take place at 6:30PM at cinéma Luminor Hôtel de Ville, located in the area of Le Marais, by Centre Pompidou. Tickets available online here: https://www.luminor-hoteldeville.com/reserver/ (please reserve early to avoid disappointment).

Won’t say any more, except to urge you to run back to the cinema to see this fast-paced movie which blends dark humour, social satire and tragedy!
