Synopsis
Everybody Loves Jeanne (Tout le monde aime Jeanne, 2022) is Céline Devaux's tragicomedy, and you can watch it online on iFILM. Jeanne (Blanche Gardin) used to be everyone's favorite. Now she's drowning in debt and flying to Lisbon to sell the apartment of her mother, who vanished a year ago.
Inside Jeanne's head lives a snide animated voice that mocks every misstep — Devaux comes from animation and draws cartoon outbursts straight over the live action. At the airport she runs into Jean (Laurent Lafitte), a former classmate who is chatty, clumsy and impossible to shake. He trails her through a foreign city, and a trip meant to bury the past slowly turns into the awkward closeness of two adults who are bad at being happy.
The film premiered in Cannes Critics' Week and rests on Gardin, a comedian who can be funny and gutted in the same shot. It's for viewers who like quiet European cinema about depression without melodrama — self-mocking, a little bitter, oddly warm. Stream Everybody Loves Jeanne (2022) online on iFILM.
