Albert Dupontel returns with the black comedy Il faut brûler Maman

After Adieu les cons and Second Tour, Albert Dupontel offers Il faut brûler Maman, a black comedy set in a family of undertakers gathered for their mother's funeral. The film, directed by the star himself, brings together Louise Coldefy, Julia Piaton and Artus in a closed-door setting where striking staff force the protagonists to handle the funeral protocol. Viewers note a technical feat: most of the film is shot in long takes, the camera swirling between actors and sets.

According to AlloCiné, the film holds an average of 3.4 / 5 from 501 votes and 129 reviews, with audiences calling it funny, deep and moving.
