My Best Part
A bittersweet comedy-drama that manages to be hilarious in one scene and extremely touching in the next...a noteworthy debut.
My Best Part
Best known to American audiences as Hervé, the frantic agency assistant in the hit Netflix series Call My Agent!, actor Nicolas Maury moves behind the camera, directing, co-writing, and starring in this coming-of-age dramedy, My Best Part. Here, the actor courageously steps into the skin of the mercurial Jérémie, a hypersensitive struggling actor with an uncontrollable green-eyed monster on his back. Grappling with personal loss, a love life in shambles, and a faltering career, Jérémie turns to his clear-headed mother for support (Nathalie Baye in one of the loveliest roles of her career) in this auspicious, often touching, directorial debut. -Colcoa French Film Festival
