Do you see How far away it is,Orelsan 's film? Grand Paris is based on the same premise, but is even more crazy and perched. It's the story of two guys, a bit lazy, and mostly unemployed, who go in search of the origin of a mysterious artifact they find on the Grand Paris Express construction site. The movie will be released on March 29th.
For a first film, it is a great success. Grand Paris is the adaptation of Grand Paris Express, a short film that Martin Jauvat directed with the same team. For the long version, he comes back behind the camera, but also in front of it, and plays Renard, a young suburbanite who embarks his best friend Leslie in a messy scheme at the other end of the Île-de-France. During their adventure, they will meet many colorful personalities, and a drug dealer / sandwich delivery man who is as stupid as he is hilarious, played by the brilliant William Lebghil.
And even technically, the film is amazing. Shot with a bright, sometimes even milky colorimetry, which reminds a bit of Quentin Dupieux's films. Whether it is by the hyper-serious soundtrack, or by the increasingly mysterious events that occur around the two friends, we understand that Grand Paris is far from the American-style "stoner movie". On the contrary, under the guise of an absurd wandering of two idiots, Martin Jauvat signs a very clever film, which presents a vision of the suburbs that we have never seen in French cinema. At only 26 years old, the young man asserts himself as a very promising filmmaker, one to be followed absolutely. We can't wait to see what direction his career will take.
