C'est la vie

As per usual, Cadinot sees our universe differently. Making things happen, having the audacity to obtain what one wants or who one desires: c'est la vie! Letting oneself be carried by the general motion and voluntarily submitting oneself to the desires of others: c'est la vie! Creating a future by breaking a past choice: c'est la vie! Stopping everything and taking time to take and give intense pleasure to two or three people wherever one happens to be: c'est la vie! In a city, the young man, a married workman, a librarian, a nurse, a clerk - each in turn come up against the reality of existence! Let yourself be penetrated! It's our life! This film takes you even further than "Double en Jeu".

Directed by Jean-Daniel Cadinot, C'est la vie leans on a strong ensemble — Antoine Mallet, Cédric Armin, Arnaud Demonge — 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 screen titles of 2000.
