Un monde merveilleux is a comedy-drama directed by Giulio Callegari, which imagines a future where humanity is in constant interaction with robots. The film reunites Blanche Gardin, famous for her acerbic humor, with young talents Pierre Gommé and Laly Mercier, in a story mixing social criticism and personal quest. The plot follows Max, a former teacher struggling against technology, who is forced to collaborate with a robot to save her daughter. The film promises a light-hearted yet hard-hitting reflection on our relationship with modernity and humanity.
A Wonderful World will be released in cinemas from May 7, 2025.
Synopsis: In a future a little too close to home, where humans are dependent on robots, Max, a former teacher with a stubborn resistance to technology, makes a living with her daughter through small-time schemes. She has a plan: kidnap a state-of-the-art robot and sell it for parts. But everything goes wrong. Flanked by this exasperating robot, she embarks on a chase to find her daughter and prove that there's still a little humanity left in the world.
With its blend of social criticism and humor, Un monde merveilleux should appeal to comedy-drama fans who appreciate dystopian tales tinged with irony. Fans of Blanche Gardin, known for her biting view of society, will find a role that seems tailor-made for her. The themes addressed - invasive technology and human relationships - are reminiscent of works such as Her or Robot and Frank, but with a more French and accessible tone.
This film could appeal to a wide audience, from those sensitive to the issues of the future to fans of moving, human stories. On the other hand, those who prefer light-hearted comedies or purely dystopian tales may not find it to their liking.
With an original idea and a promising cast, A Wonderful World promises to be an accessible yet thought-provoking comedy-drama. Its blend of humor, reflection on the future and emotion could make it a nice surprise to kick off the year 2025.
