Delete History

_Effacer l'historique_ / _Delete History_ is a stranger you meet at a bar and hit it off right away. It's drunk at first sight and the pity party doesn't go anywhere or solve anything or help except sometimes just hanging out with someone funny who makes you feel better because he's worse off than you is all you need to have a good time. Blanche Gardin continues to impress with her comedic range and here she finally has some material to work with. The parade of cameos (Benoît Poelvoorde, Vincent Lacoste, American Horror Story's Denis O'Hare...) isn't new, the lo-fi outsider soundtrack of Daniel Johnston songs feels forced indie and the ending starts to unravel like a used ribbon on a regifted birthday present but none of those things is enough to erase the silly grin I had on my face throughout.
