Everything Went Fine (2021)
(Tout s'est bien passé)
Country: FR/BEL
Technical: col/2.35:1 113m
Director: François Ozon
Cast: Sophie Marceau, André Dussollier, Géraldine Pailhas, Charlotte Rampling, Hanna Schygulla
Synopsis:
When their father suffers a stroke, it places a lot of pressure on his two daughters, particularly the eldest. But when he asks them to help him die, in spite of his improving condition, it gives rise to conflicting feelings, both about their parting and about the past.
Review:
Based on a true-life personal history (the main character is a writer), the prolific director's least typical subject - except for the father's bisexuality - touches on the right to die debate, and more specifically the right to ask one's children to assist. Marceau is overwhelming as the daughter who, as a proxy wife, devotes herself to her dying parent, only to have that love thrown back in her face.
