Every day, AlloCiné recommends a film to (re)watch on TV. Tonight: one of the most touching French comedies of recent years.
It was in 1994 that Éric Judor met his alter-ego Ramzy Bedia. At his side, he forms a comic tandem, whose sketches and television collaborations quickly become popular.
In 2001, the duo launched into the cinema with La Tour Montparnasse infernale. On the strength of their 2 million admissions, Éric and Ramzy then found themselves on various projects with schoolboy humour, such as Double Zéro, Les Dalton, Seuls Two, Halal State Police or La Tour de Contrôle Infernale.
In solo, Éric Judor ventures towards a more experimental cinema by starting a collaboration with the director Quentin Dupieux. At the same time, he flourishes on the small screen thanks to the satirical series Platane, of which he is the creator and main actor.
It was not until 2018 that Éric Judor began a real change of register. He is indeed chosen by Julien Guetta as the headliner of Roulez jeunesse, his first feature film. It is by meeting him by chance that the director has a flash: the fact of taking the actor to a genre he had never played becomes one of his ambitions.
Éric Judor, who easily identified with his character, lends his features to Alex, a 43-year-old car repairman, who works in his mother’s car garage. One day, he helps out a young woman and spends the night at her house. But in the early morning, she disappeared, leaving her with three children on her hands.
“Irresistible” (Tele-Leisure), “amazing” (20 minutes), “surprising” (Filmsactu); “particularly moving” (Première) – Eric Judor’s highly sensitive and authentic performance convinces.
In addition to its interpretation in an unexpected register, Ride youth is also distinguished by the relevance of its subject, its powerful dialogues, its galvanizing energy and its gallery of colorful characters embodied by a beautiful cast: Laure Calamy, Brigitte Roüan, Ilan Debrabant, Louise Labeque, Philippe Duquesne and Déborah Lukumuena among others .
