Albert Dupontel’s brilliant, exuberant farce — about a 43-year-old hairdresser whose days are numbered from breathing in too much hairspray and a middle-aged computer nerd being put out to pasture — is, in truth, an extraordinarily moving expression of the deepest forms of love and the difficulties we often have giving voice to it. Beautifully crafted on every level, what begins as a high-concept romp and a delirious twist on the lovers-on-the-run genre evolves into an exceptional film, chock-a-block with poetry, tragedy, humanity and compassion. Bye Bye Morons scored a veritable grand slam at this year’s César Awards, with 13 nominations and seven wins, including prizes for Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, and Best Supporting Actor (Nicolas Marié).
