About Des gens passent et j'en oublie
Gaspard spends his nights reading the Odyssey. When Polo, who claims to be his cousin, shows up with a backpack full of CVs, Gaspard's life is turned upside down. A few blocks away, Bob yells insults and je t'aime at Josianne's window to get her to open the door. Pierre-Henri Brahim spots him and thinks he's found a friend. Fred wanders the streets with his crazy leg. They all end up at Josianne's house, where they learn that she is to be evicted. On the bangs of society, each of the characters is a world unto himself. Extravagant and endearing, they are the protagonists of a social comedy that tackles the issue of social marginalization with caustic humor and a great deal of tenderness.
Directed by Laurent Poncelet, Des gens passent et j'en oublie leans on a strong ensemble — Salim Benayeche, Martina Coblentz, Christophe Delachaux — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2020.
