Rendez-Vous with French Cinema

[Chris Knipp]

SINK OR SWIM/LE GRAND BAIN (Gilles Lellouche 2018)

A broad comedy with a brace of famous French movie actors, mostly male, playing an oddball group who get involved (Full Monty style)in a team of masculine synchronized swimmers. All, all guys (and gals, the two coaches) are people whose lives are a mess, and the film avoids being too uplifting by spending a lot of time on the messes. This movie got ten César nominations. Silly, lightweight, but serous too and entertaining.
