Room(h)ates

Room(h)ates (Sous le même toit, 2017) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Dominique Farrugia. Yvan and Delphine are divorced. He can't afford to rent anywhere. Then he remembers: the documents say he owns twenty percent of her apartment.

He moves back in. Gilles Lellouche and Louise Bourgoin play a couple who have already said everything there is to say to each other — and now have to say it again over the breakfast table. Manu Payet and Marilou Berry co-star. Farrugia plays the comedy straight: no slapstick, just two adults who know each other's habits and blind spots better than anyone else on earth, trapped inside the same eighty square meters. That familiarity is both the joke and the problem.
