Et Si On Vivait Tous Ensemble? plot

Five good old friends, five different characters. Claude is a woman lover. The couple Annie and Jean are two opposites; he is a political activist, she likes the rich conventional life. Then there is the feminist Jeanne and the carefree Albert who is full of zest for life. They are five old friends and all have different problems with aging. One experiences that his passion is diminishing, the other hides a serious illness. Another doesn't notice that his memory is playing tricks on him. The five have a good solution to face the problems of aging together: living together.

Who would have thought to see Jane Fonda and Pierre Richard, as well as Guy Bedos and Geraldine Chaplin united in a French comedy that is quite enjoyable, original, somewhat absurd of course, but that is allowed, with several funny witticisms and ditto dialogues and yet as a background the problems of growing older and sicker and the fear of ending up in the impersonality of a home, within it. Playful but not entirely and with, how could it be otherwise, excellent acting performances.

It's nice how this ensemble film honors old film stars like Jane Fonda, Geraldine Chaplin, Pierre Richard and Guy Bedos with themes that fit their age group: old age, decline, becoming dependent on care and the painful realization that former ideals no longer fit the present time. And of course that much-discussed subject that often has an expiration date in the imagery, but which in reality remains part of the human experience: sex and sexuality. 'Et Si On Vivait Tous Ensemble?' (2011) perhaps presents lust in old age a little too didactic - and of course the obligatory Viagra jokes are in the air - but for a light-hearted audience film this small taboo is dealt with quite frankly. And then I just accept that Daniel Brühl, the only young person in the cast, walks around like a happy missionary's child who provides for all the needs of the old people, while he is written into their lives in a rather forced way.

Pleasant, tragicomic French film about five friends who think they have found a good solution to jointly face the problems of growing old: living together. The excellent cast (including a surprisingly strong Jane Fonda who effortlessly speaks fluent French here) makes something beautiful of it, although the script is not very interesting and few risks are taken. Everything else flows along pleasantly enough, with the well-known laughter and tears.
