Joséphine will be broadcast on M6 on Friday August1, 2025 at 9:10 pm.
Synopsis: At the age of 29, Joséphine still hasn't found her ideal man. Complexed by her buttocks, she can't bear the news that her perfect sister is getting married. Out of spite, she invents a fictitious romance with a Brazilian surgeon. This little lie embroils her in a series of absurd and unexpected situations.
Joséphine offers a female figure far removed from perfect standards. Played by Marilou Berry, the heroine is clumsy, impulsive and full of contradictions - but deeply human. Her need for recognition, her relationship with her body and her awkwardness in relationships are all themes tackled with humor and tenderness.
Her entourage plays an active role in the situational comedy: Bérengère Krief plays a mischievous best friend, while Mehdi Nebbou adds a touch of sweetness in a positive male role. Brad Pitt's cat character even becomes a running gag in the film, reinforcing its offbeat tone.
The film is loosely based on the world of Pénélope Bagieu's comics, known for their fresh tone and portraits of contemporary women. Joséphine takes a tender, ironic look at the contradictions of urban life, social injunctions and the romantic expectations of thirty-somethings.
The colorful, rhythmic staging accompanies the whimsical nature of the main character. Situations unfold with lies, misunderstandings and revelations, culminating in a romantic resolution that's typical of the genre, but not without sincerity.
The film will appeal to fans of light-hearted romantic comedies, modern women's stories and universes akin to comics or feel-good movies. Fans of Bridget Jones, All That Glitters or Connasse, Princesse des Coeurs will find the same taste for self-deprecation and tender humor about the shortcomings of everyday life.
Accessible from adolescence onwards, Joséphine is suitable for a wide audience, with a lively pace and a positive message about self-acceptance and the hazards of love.
Joséphine is a romantic comedy directed by Agnès Obadia, starring Marilou Berry, Mehdi Nebbou and Bérengère Krief. Released in 2013, the film is based on the comic strip by Pénélope Bagieu. It follows a young woman in her thirties who invents an ideal love life, before reality catches up with her.
When it airs on M6 on August1, 2025 at 9:10pm, you'll be able to (re)discover this light-hearted, self-deprecating comedy.
