En fumée

About This Movie

So, 'En fumée' is this odd little gem from 2018 that really captures that essence of aimless youth, you know? It intertwines the lives of Parisian slackers Boris and Alexis, who are just drifting through life, while in contrast, there's Pierre in the countryside working on his opera. The whole Orpheus theme adds a nice layer of depth, as he grapples with heartbreak over Adelia. It’s not your conventional comedy; the pacing feels a bit languid, almost dreamlike at times. The music flows right into the narrative, which gives it a unique rhythm. The performances bring a genuine vibe, almost improvisational, capturing that feeling of existential ennui. There's something about its rawness that makes it stand out, for sure.
