    Storyline

    Edit
    When 43-year-old hairdresser Suze Trappet finds out that she's seriously ill, she decides to go looking for a child she was forced to abandon when she was only 15. On her madcap bureaucratic quest she crosses paths with JB, a 50-year-old man in the middle of a burnout, and Mr. Blin, a blind archivist prone to overenthusiasm. The unlikely trio set off on a hilarious and poignant helter-skelter journey across the city in search of Suze's long-lost child.

    • Trivia
      The movie is dedicated to Terry Jones, former Monty Python member who died in January 2020, who had played in two of Albert Dupontel's movies: Le créateur (1999) (as God) and Enfermés dehors (2006) (as a homeless person). Incidentally, another former Monty Python member plays in the present movie: Terry Gilliam (as a hunter in the advertisement). Albert Dupontel has said that the Pythons are a source of inspiration for his work.

    Another hit from Albert Dupontel
    I watched Au Revoir Là-Haut (See You Up There for the English title) followed by Adieu Les Cons (Bye Bye Morons for the English title), both movies by writer/director Albert Dupontel, in which he also plays the major role. I can only say I'm a fan from now on. Au Revoir Là-Haut was more artistic than Adieu Les Cons, but they are both very enjoyable to watch. Adieu Les Cons is something different from the rest, with an interesting engaging story that is easy to follow and that has nice inventive twists and turns, it's all well written, but also very well acted and that from the whole cast. It clearly deserves it's high rating on here. I can't see what people could dislike about this movie. It's certainly one of the better French movies I watched this decennia. You can't really compare it to Au Revoir Là-Haut which has a totally different story but you certainly recognize that typical vibe you get from Albert Dupontel.
