On the occasion of the theatrical release of Hunting, we ask ourselves the following question: but in fact, what is the best film of Didier Bourdon’s career according to AlloCiné spectators?
Currently, Didier Bourdon is starring in Hunting, a comedy directed by Antonin Fourlon and Frédéric Forestier. After having unearthed the worst of the career of the ex Unknown, this time we invite you to unearth the best feature film with Didier Bourdon according to AlloCiné spectators.
To find this work, you have to go back about ten years. In 2013, the actor played the main role in a TV film which will shock spectators: 15 Days Elsewhere. With a score of 3.9 out of 5, the film is the best of Didier Bourdon’s career according to your ratings.
Broadcast on October 9, 2013 on France 2, the TV film introduces us to Vincent, played by Didier Bourdon. Unbearable pressure, unfair competition from a young assistant, he burned out in the middle of a work meeting. With the agreement of his wife, the man is interned in psychiatry. Abandoned by an overwhelmed healthcare team, he becomes friends with Hélène, a young psychotic woman, who is the only one to make him talk, to cheer him up.
Hélène confides to him that she dreams of getting out as quickly as possible to find her son, Lucas, whose custody has been taken away. The Judge of Liberties refuses Hélène her trial release, which enrages her and causes her to be placed in an isolation room. When Vincent leaves the hospital, Hélène deceives the nurses’ supervision, runs away and begs him to help her see Lucas again. Vincent does not have the heart to denounce her and accepts this mission…
What do the spectators think?
According to Leonblum I, 15 Days Elsewhere is an “excellent drama that ends with a note of hope. The film is also an indictment against inhuman profit, against selfishness and a proposal for humane and altruistic behavior. Excellent actors for the most part. I regret nothing.”
For MC4815162342, it is “a magnificent TV film which could have been described as a film. Didier Bourdon is astonishing and Judith Chemla amazing. The rest of the cast is just as good, the direction is far from bad, the music is very beautiful… in short, a very beautiful adventure.”
Pomacantha also enjoyed 15 days elsewhere. ‘I really liked this’One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest‘, even if the ending is a bit conventional; but the interpretation of Didier Bourdon and Judith Chemla is remarkable.”
“Dazzling and sublime”
Jean G. is also convinced by this work by Didier Bivel. “It’s a gentle, slow story, sometimes a little dull, but interpreted to perfection by a masterful duo (Didier Bourdon-Judith Chemla); we have moving situations, poignant passages, a striking production. A role that gives to Didier Bourdon the confirmation of his talent as an actor. Dazzling in its simplicity and grandeur.”
“15 Days Elsewhere is a very good TV film on the theme of burnout and especially psychiatry with a super powerful performance. Didier Bourdon is astonishing and Judith Chemla is full of talent!”confides Touka Speed.
According to willycopresto, it is a “very beautiful film benefiting from a judiciously chosen cast. Didier Bourdon expresses his role with great sobriety and his story is touching from start to finish. We knew him in the comic style, but in the drama, he is sublime. In a difficult role, Judith Chemla pierces the screen. A film of great sensitivity treated without excess and without communicative depression. Lots of tact in the story. Superb.”
