Résumés(1)

Pedantic policeman František wants to bring up his three daughters with a firm hand. He would like to see the girls coupled with capable and successful men, but instead they have the talent to find the opposite. Moreover, one of them is constantly trying to get pregnant, second one is only dating exotic fools and the third one is expecting a baby without knowing, who is the father. František and his wife always spend their vacation at the local lake, although the wife is dreaming of the seaside. One day she meets a bohemian writer with slightly suicidal tendencies and an attractive colleague with Spanish roots walks into Frantisek's office and things get moving... And these small stories of our characters create one big story of a small Czech family with usually troubles, we all know well. (Bontonfilm)

français Une comédie sans humour fonctionnel, une atmosphère sans aucune consistance et un scénario excessivement incohérent et aléatoire. Il est triste que les cinéastes tchèques puissent réaliser un film commercial de haute qualité technique (il y a même des scènes d'action, des courses de voitures et des ninjas), mais qu'ils aient énormément de difficultés à le remplir d'un contenu significatif, ou du moins cohérent. La plupart des personnages, des situations qu'ils vivent et des motifs conviendraient mieux à un drame dépressif, tandis que d'autres sont parodiques et même délirants. Cependant, le résultat n'a ni queue ni tête, il ne divertit pas, n'émeut pas et ne propose même pas une histoire qui correspondrait convenablement au titre du film « basé sur la vie réelle » car il semble faux, artificiel et sans âme.

français Une comédie idiote, naïve et déjantée, variation tchèque sur James Bond assaisonnée d’un peu du Magnifique. Je dois préciser que cette comédie ne m’a pas offensé ; son humour n’était ni en dessous de la ceinture ni franchement lourd, juste loufoque et parfois stéréotypé quand il porte sur les relations amoureuses. J'ai passé un moment plutôt agréable et ça m’a fait oublier tous mes déboires d’un certain dimanche de juin. Malgré tout, ce film constitue, jusqu’à présent, la contribution la plus médiocre au cinéma tchèque en cette année 2015. ()

anglais I didn’t expect Life is Life to be a silly comedy. And to be honest, I didn’t really know what to think after I watched it for the first time. In any case, I can’t say that I didn’t have a good laugh; I mostly have Ondřej Vetchý to thank for that, as he took the movie to new heights. The story is a fairly sad drama from a life of a family of a proper tyrant. Ondřej Vetchý was downright enjoying himself in this role. The other half of the movie is an absolutely amazing Bond movies parody where the movie’s originality shines through, which was really amusing. In fact, that’s also why I’m giving the movie four stars. I was expecting a melancholic comedy the likes of Love is Love and in the end, I got a clever, polite, crazy Czech comedy that might not know which way to lean sometimes, but it still managed to bring me joy – and that’s something!

anglais I gawped cluelessly. I squeezed up against my girlfriend in fear and asked her, horrified, if life was really like this. If it makes no sense and the people that pass through life have no common sense, behave illogically, others cheat and members of the same family are as sharp as razors to each other. My idea of a comedy is something completely different - this was more like a horror. I don’t like this kind of movie and Frank is Ondra Vetchý’s worst ever role. Only the foul-mouthed parrot made me laugh. ()

anglais I liked this a lot. The whole family was pretty wild, but in a good way (when you're just watching it and not part of it). The filmmakers lightly poked fun at the common prejudices in Czech society. And it was funny, not lame. The only thing I didn’t enjoy much was František’s daydreaming. I would have shortened that or maybe cut it out completely (the poorly done car chases are boring). But otherwise good, really good. ()
