What a delightful film, what a pleasant surprise! Jean-Pierre Bacri at his best, a very touching narrative with "stories within stories". The character he plays is so endearing that you just want him to be happy, even if it's obviously very complicated for him. In any case, I loved it and was really touched. Thank you for this sweet moment. It's a film that tells a banal story, but in the end isn't banal at all. If you're looking for a sweet moment, watch it. As soon as the film's finished, I've already got the urge to see it again, and I certainly will, because now that I know the story, I'm sure I'll experience it differently...

You have here a terrific Jean-Pierre Bacri vehicle, where he is at his very best. He gives in this film an outstanding performance which suits him like a glove. I guess no actors on earth could play such a character. The tale of a traveling salesman specialized in biological tooth brushes who suddenly realizes that he spoiled his entire life, he missed everything, family, girl friends, friends, everything. Jean-Pierre Bacri has always been a specialist for such characters. Bitter, cynical, disabused characters who don't believe in anything anymore. You see in this movie some funny sequences, but also depressing in you watch them closely. I highly appreciated the parallel between his character and the lost navigator's one - a British sailor named Donald Crowhurst who really existed. This is a so poignant film about loneliness and also an interesting feature that brings an offbeat point of view on homosexuality.
