Viens je t’emmène

Nobody’s Hero
Alain Guiraudie
France 2022
100 min
V'22

Like all the great Christmas tales, VIENS JE T’EMMÈNE works as an utopia that unfolds within the fabric of the present, taking the form of a semi-absurd comedy. Winter is at its peak, and Médéric goes around town in skin-tight jogging pants and a top with fluorescent sleeves. He is the common link between all the crazy characters in this story, and what they share in turn is that they find him utterly irresistible. He himself chooses Isadora at the beginning of the film, a 50-year-old sex worker with whom he falls madly in love and with whom he never seems able to have sex: terrorists attacks, mafia-jealous husbands, homeless youngsters, prayer groups, insane neighborhood shootings, everything gets in the way. But these interruptions swiftly become plots, intrigues, urgent demonstrations of solidarity and more. Guiraudie takes on all the complications of a context, a city and its inhabitants and mixes them with chaotic bliss. Islamophobia is the main source of comedy, while the other is sexual confusion and desire. Have you ever heard that rancid phrase, “This film could not be made in 2022?” VIENS JE T’EMMÈNE works as its total opposite, a joyful game that plays with all the ideas that make up the confusions of today. (Lucía Salas)
