This new French comedy didn't quite sit right with me. I guess I'm fed up with Francophone social realism, no matter the genre. Once it's about finding a solution to a pre-lost battle in Two Days, One Night, then it's about testing whether it's a divine matter in The Brand New Testament, but the point is, they're all still Invisibles. So if I'm supposed to meet again with a bunch of insignificant little people, this time turned upside down by winning the lottery, I don't tend to laugh as much. A film in the style of Wild Tales.

Lucky Winners is a darkly humorous probe into the world of people whose (mis-)fortune has led to a large pile of money falling into their laps. It's perhaps a bit of a shame that the individual stories were conceived separately and are not connected in some way, but I was still really interested in each of the episodes about (un-)lucky people. The stories, which even life itself could not have come up with, amused me and sent shivers down my spine at the same time. The one with the revenge from beyond the grave almost seemed like one from Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction. I originally gave the film three stars, but with some hindsight I'm raising the rating, as I quite liked this sometimes really wacky French ride.
