Directed by Frédéric Quiring, whose credits include Sales Gosses and La Très Très Grande Classe, Doux Jésus promises to be an offbeat comedy where humor and emotion meet. Starring Marilou Berry in the title role, accompanied byIsabelle Nanty and Anne Benoit, the film tells the singular story of a nun who decides to leave everything behind to find her childhood sweetheart.
Doux Jésus will be available for purchase on VOD from August 9, 2025 and for rental from August 29, 2025.
Synopsis: Sister Lucia, a devoted nun, decides to flee her convent after 20 years to find her childhood sweetheart. It's the start of an extraordinary adventure that will put her faith to the test and confront her with today's world, full of surprises and temptations.
With its light-hearted tone and original subject matter, Doux Jésus could appeal to fans of French comedies that play on the clash of worlds. Those who enjoyed films such as Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? or Les Innocentes (in a more dramatic tone) might be intrigued by this humorous approach to religious life. The slapstick humor and absurd situations hint at a dynamic akin to comedies, where characters out of step with their environment create comical situations.
On the other hand, those who prefer more subtle comedies or those far removed from social satire may find the humor less appealing.
The film marks a new collaboration between Marilou Berry and Isabelle Nanty, a duo already spotted in Joséphine and Les Tuche. Frédéric Quiring, known for his popular comedies, seems once again to be banking on a fast-paced story, driven by colorful characters.
Doux Jésus promises to be a sparkling comedy combining personal quest and offbeat humor. With an experienced cast and a plot that promises plenty of hilarious situations, the film could find its audience among fans of dynamic French comedies. It remains to be seen how this adventure out of the convent will manage to balance emotion, lightness and social satire.
