Every day, AlloCiné recommends a film to (re)watch on TV. Tonight: an apocalyptic comedy.
After seeing him in the Platane series, producer Matthieu Tarot wanted to work with Eric Judor, also known for his comic duo with Ramzy Bédia and his forays into the absurd universe of Quentin Dupieux.
He then submitted to Blanche Gardin and Noé Debré the idea of a comedy which would take place in a ZAD (zone to be defended). The co-writers thus imagine the story of Victor and Jeanne, who stop to visit a friend living in a ZAD on their way back from vacation.
Seduced by his way of life and his way of resisting modern technology and industrial society, they decide to stay for a few days. One morning, they discover that the gendarmes who supervised the community have disappeared, just like the outside population, decimated by a pandemic, making them the last survivors on Earth…
Matthieu Tarot then proposed this scenario, entitled Problemos, to Eric Judor so that he could direct it and play the main role. The latter thus signs a post-apocalyptic comedy as zany as it is politically incorrect, with acerbic dialogues, served by a very good casting.
Indeed, Eric Judor plays on screen alongside comedians Marc Fraize and Bun-Hay Mean, including Youssef Hadji, Michel Nabokov, Arnaud Henriet, Eddy Leduc, Dorothée Pousséo, Claire Chust and Célia Rosich, but also Blanche Gardin herself, in the role of an ultra feminist.
