Encouraged byAfter turning 60, working-class man Serge decides to retire and is ready to reap his pensioner¹s rewards. He runs into the implacable wall of bureaucracy after finding out that his former employers have neglected to declare his earnings.

They've given their star one rotten peach of a role, and Depardieu makes the most of it. Because of him, such surreal Gallic scuzziness has rarely seemed so sweetly tender. Read full review

A quirky road-trip movie with things to say. A return to form for Depardieu too. Read full review

A wearisome mix of miserableness and dark humor. Read full review

The movie is trying to be realistic and the excessive use of camera on hand is for this reason, but the camera movements in camera on hand shots are sometimes not well designed. Although the film tries to have a realistic structure, the shots in which Mammuth remembers his girlfriend overshadows this realism.… Expand
