Who doesn’t love a wedding? Wedding planners, caterers, waiters, florists, costumers, bands, singers, DJs, drivers and photographers, that’s who. But the best day of your life always comes off with a smile, no matter what.
=0D=0A=After 30 years, veteran wedding mastermind Max is about to work what might be his last night ever. And how better to go out than with a bang of a banquet at a luscious 17th century palace? There’s just one problem: everybody.
=0D=0A=Max’s girlfriend is flirting with other staff. The singer has an ego as big as the estate itself. Max’s right hand, Adele, still can’t keep her details straight and her latest hire, Samy, doesn’t understand irons, flatware or social boundaries. The photographer, Guy, has an assistant who is smarter than he is but he can’t stop eating to see it. And that’s not to mention all the period costumes, special meals and electrical concerns Max’s comedic deadpan has to keep up with. Oh, and has the groom, Pierre, mentioned he has a few changes he’d like to suggest?
=0D=0A=C’est La Vie is helmed by the same great duo behind 2011’s multi-award-winning, Emmy-nominated The Intouchables and the talent shows. Not only do they give Altman-like touches to even some of the more minor players they employ, they effortlessly give every scene light and joy while never ignoring the fact that weddings are more like chaotic symphonies than serene ballets.
