Director Robert Guédiguian draws inspiration from real events: the collapse of two buildings in his city, Marseille, in 2018, in which eight people died
If Ken Loach takes it upon himself to remind us of the reasons why we must fight, Robert Guédiguian seems more interested in the humanity of those who carry out those struggles and, as in «Et la fête continue!» («And the party continues!»), in Rome in the «Gran Public» section, would deserve a caress or at least a sign of esteem. Like Rosa (Ariane Ascaride), a passionate nurse who does not want to give up political commitment despite the pettiness in which the left-wing groups who should present themselves united in the municipal elections lose themselves. Around her there are the two children and the girlfriend of the one who is still bachelor, the future father-in-law (Jean-Pierre Darroussin), the taxi driver brother (Gérard Meylan) with his sentimental problems and a city like Marseille, with its wounds and its beauties. Guédiguian does not hide the problems (the collapse of a council building, the poverty of the poorest), he knows the fatigue of militancy (from which Rosa does not back down), but he also wants to find the time to give hope that in the end one can find a smile, a bit of understanding, even that love that was thought forgotten but instead is so good for the heart. Even the spectator’s.
