Product Description

Chronique Amazon.fr

On choisit ses amis... mais la palette familiale avec laquelle il faut composer chaque semaine un air parfois dissonant, interprété fortissimo, trouve ses clefs au cœur des racines de chacun. Agnès Jaoui et Jean-Pierre Bacri, auteurs et coscénaristes d'Un air de famille, forment avec Cédric Klapisch un trio ciselant une comédie de mœurs sur fond de rhapsodie familiale. Un mélange caustique mais plein d'humour et de compassion. Cette adaptation de leur propre pièce de théâtre transpose avec brio à l'écran l'univers intense d'un huis-clos et va puiser dans l'essence même de ce qui fait le Français moyen, nonchalant et râleur, tendre et bourru. On s'immisce avec bonheur au sein de cette famille (dés)unie par une pléiade de talents qui valurent au film d'obtenir trois césars. --Christophe Gagnot

This is so funny, a real family story, you have to see the cast, is extremely well directed, and as a French, I say Kaplish is the best French young Director out there...

A very clever comedy, depicting relationship between people of the same family, meeting to celebrate a birthday. This one is certainly not the typical american family, but everybody should find some characters that looks like people of their own. And that's the title : 'un air de famille'. Are all the people the same ? Certainly not much action, but more psychological analysis of what people feel when they must live together.

5.0 out of 5 stars A comedy?, July 13 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Un Air De Famille (DVD)
Hmmm... I'm beginning to wonder whether or not the "dysfunctional family get-together" film should become a new genre. Hey, who can't identify with a group of close relatives screaming at and insulting each other? That remark aside, this is one of my favorite films - it is extremely funny. However, upon recommending it to a friend, who did then see it, she replied, "You thought this was funny?" Ok, so I saw it again. Now, having done so, I must agree that the movie has a very painful side to it -- not that it causes the viewer pain, but that it becomes evident that the characters are much closer to being truly unhappy than anything else -- from a failed marriage in which the husband is totally ignorant of his (miserable) wife's crumbling emotional state, to the family's black sheep who is made to wallow in his own failure, to a paralyzed dog that lies pathetically in the same place throughout the whole film...my God! How depressing! Anyway, compared to similar American films, this movie (in the very French fashion) does not satisfy itself with merely presenting humorous odd-couple-esque situations; it goes deeper to the very real suffering behind what makes us, the objective viewers, laugh (NB: we laugh, because we relate, right?). This is an excellent film. Please see it...and think about it - don't just laugh...
