3/5
Agnès Jaoui's and Jean-Pierre Bacri's films, covered in disenchantment, have always been a search for reasons for optimism, with a bourgeois conformism that relieved or upset, according to the sensibility of each viewer.

Suc M @RT51285585 Sep 6, 2025 I really enjoyed watching Place Publique. The film is a fascinating depiction of a clash of generations. It also did an excellent job of reminding me of rural France in the 1980s. It is a very interesting film, treating important topics in a more realistic way than many others. See more Jan 5, 2019 The French can give us Brits a run for our money when it comes to producing witty, satirical comedies. Paris hipsters descend decamp to the countryside for a garden party. Jean-Pierre Bacri is a magnificent curmudgeon. See more Read all reviews
