Agathe Cléry

About This Movie

Agathe Cléry is an intriguing mix of comedy and social commentary. The film follows Agathe, a rather unpleasant marketing manager at a cosmetics company, whose world flips upside down when she develops Addison Syndrome, leading to a drastic change in her skin color. The atmosphere shifts from her snobbish, racially prejudiced life to a much more complex reality as she navigates her new identity. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it allows for some reflective moments. Performances are decent, highlighting the absurdity of her situation. It’s interesting to see the practical effects used to depict her transformation, making her journey both humorous and thought-provoking. A notable exploration of privilege and self-perception in a comedic guise.
