    • Trivia
      The crew was given permission to shoot in the Élysée palace, in the entrance court and one of the salons. Even though Emmanuel Macron, the Président of the French Republic as of 2021, appears in the opening sequence, it's only through the use of archive footage and clever editing.

    Cinema Omnivore - France (2021) 7.0/10
    "Such faux-naivety shows Dumont's tricksy proclivity to go against the grain for characterization, he distances France from a realistic, complex character, then magnifies her every banal emotion beat from her easily processed headspace to the extreme of absurdity. France has no tact in fending off life's caprices, her guilt (after injuring an immigrant delivery man), her rage (a romance with a fellow resident in an expensive sanitarium turning out to be a hoax), her grief (a road tragedy shot in disturbingly long and slo-mo details), never reach far to get audience's sympathy. France de Meurs might be read as a symbol of France the country, all glossy and haute-couture-y, but troubled by the immigrant crisis, deluded by the deceptive wooing parties and dreading disaster can be detonated at any minute and much more."

    read my full review on my blog: Cinema Omnivore, thanks.
