It is also played by true Johnny Hallyday

It is believed more. And yet, our old country, in one of his bursts is capable when the collapse is inevitable, offer us a superb comedy, the best probably for years: "Jean-Philippe". Our old country, or rather a handful of performers not near retirement: Christophe Turpin (screenwriter), Laurent Tuel (Director), Fabrice Luchini and Johnny Hallyday (actors).

Any part of an observation: a being missing and everything is depopulated. Fabrice indeed bitter experience. The representative of the broad middle class once VGE called his greeting ("2 of 3 French") is framework in an enterprise to the defence. He lives in a pavilion in the suburbs with his wife and daughter. He has a passion in life: Johnny Hallyday, he has all his discs. One day, he wakes up in another world. Nothing has changed he has his job, he lives in the same place, with his family, etc., otherwise the essential: Johnny, singer Johnny Hallyday, never existed. Fabrice is a address of unidentified in the street, the answer is the same: "Johnny." That it never heard. "The only Idol of rock'n roll in French is called Chris Summer. Fabrice feels the ground escape, but does not abandon. Part in the search for Johnny, visit all the Jean-Philippe Smet, real name of the singer. He stops on one of them, like respect for respect to Johnny Hallyday. It is also played by true Johnny Hallyday. He is a bowling alley: "the Olympia". He has never heard of the singer Johnny Hallyday, but he, too, a little rock ' n roll in his youth. A stupid crash of scooter before a hearing was interrupted career draft. Fabrice will not cease to Jean-Philippe Smet the idol of the young and young, his idol: Johnny Hallyday.

The scenario is of great subtlety. It basks in the absurd and fantastic. The author, Christophe Turpin a name to remember, is fascinated by the theory of parallel worlds, the idea that several realities occur at the same time. One day, he wondered what would be like life without Johnny, "the only individual", for generations, brings everyone, all ages and all social classes combined. Laurent Tuel made a brilliant film. There are laughs at deployed gorge. Step of this fatty guard room jokes laughter that strikes an indelible mark French comic. But a laugh strange, concerned; the disorder, certainties that fly. See Johnny, who his manager of fortune imposes leather pants, declaring: "leather, it was never my thing." Complain that the Marlboro, a genre that pleases hardly, make it to the toes. Anonner: "something in Tennessee...".

The fact that the future star, Johnny Hallyday bis, is played by Johnny Hallyday and Fabrice Luchini interprets the role of a certain Fabrice adds to the confusion. The players also seem to not be entirely returned from filming. Johnny (the true) recently said: "For me, the interest was to play a Johnny Hallyday that never existed, a normal man who did not become what I am..." "Will include who can!

Is that the duo Luchini-Hallyday works to perfection. Of course, Luchini "surjoue", habit, Harlequin vibrionnant. Of course, Jean-Philippe-Johnny "sous-joue", as each time, character in Clint Eastwood hauling the old carcass in a silent melancholy. But with age, does not its own cartoon Of course, it is a little long and pace, sometimes, decrease. But Fabrice and Johnny love the blues. Better, they will love, say the gazettes. And you also, you'll them love.
