Merci La Vie

Charlotte Gainsbourg (Nymphomaniac) and Anouk Grinberg (The Night of the 12th) take a surreal road trip in Merci la vie, an outrageous, absurdist satire from acclaimed auteur Bertrand Blier (Femmes fatales). When naïve Camille (Gainsbourg) meets the carefree and promiscuous Joëlle (Grinberg), the pair undertake a journey of self-discovery across time and space, encountering the German wartime occupation, the AIDS crisis, and Camille's own conception along the way. With cameos from French screen legends Gérard Depardieu (Stavisky.) and Jean-Louis Trintignant (Crime Thief), and an eclectic soundtrack that ranges from David Bryne to Beethoven, Merci la vie is a provocative classic from one of France's most controversial filmmakers.
