Let It Rain (2008)

cringe-comedy goldbourgeoisie takedownmessy women winning

Overview

ComedyDrama

Agathe Villanova is a self-centered, workaholic feminist politician who, upon reluctantly returning to her home in the south of France to sort out her mother's affairs, runs for a local election. Upon her arrival, Agathe grudgingly agrees to take part in a documentary being made by the blundering duo of Karim, an aspiring filmmaker, and self-professed "reporter" Michel, on the subject of "successful women." As Agathe's life hilariously unravels, the camera is there to capture it all.

Standout Aspects

Writing

Jaoui and Bacri's patented dialogue: cutting, human, never preachy.

Acting

Jamel Debbouze's Karim: desperate ambition wrapped in charm.

Direction

Jaoui lets characters hang themselves with rope they bought.

Best for:Solo: For when you want to feel smug about other people's disasters.·Streaming: Late night wine-and-cringe session required.·Friends: Debate who is most insufferable: Agathe, Michel, or Karim.
Heads up:Triggers: Class condescension; characters are frequently awful to service workers.

Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Cultural

Jaoui and Bacri's writing partnership defined 2000s French bourgeois comedy; this was their final collaboration before Bacri's death.

Insight

The 'documentary within the film' deliberately blurs reality—Jaoui shot scenes twice, once 'for real' and once 'for the documentary,' leaving even the audience uncertain.
