About C'est La Vie
A story is about young teenage girl, with sister and brothers, a pleasant uncle and aunt, an annoying nanny, a young boy interested in kissing her, a close relationship with the imaginary addressee of her daily diary and her parents' disintegrating marriage - all this in a rented house in a summer resort.
Directed by Diane Kurys, C'est La Vie leans on a strong ensemble — Nathalie Baye, Jean-Pierre Bacri, Zabou Breitman — 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 1990.
