Jean-Charles Clichet plays M\u00e9d\u00e9rici, a computer programmer as addicted to jogging as he is to his vape. Straight out of the gate he attempts to pick up Isadora \u2014 a prostitute a good twenty years older than him \u2014 played by No\u00e9mie Lvovsky, who is renowned for her directorial work as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alongside the heterosexual plotline \u2014 this time homosexuality is more like a subplot \u2014we follow the residents of M\u00e9d\u00e9rici\u2019s apartment building and their varying attitudes towards young Arab migrants after a recent terrorist attack in the city. Just as the blooming, passionate love affair is as \u201ccrazy\u201d as in Luis Bu\u00f1uel\u2019s films back in the day, the attitudes towards different ethnicities, too, are far from conventional simplifications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can the issues of prostitution, asylum seeking, and islamophobia be dealt with in such a provocatively gleeful way? Well, why not, and the near-sixty-year-old Lvovsky\u2019s upfront portrayal of a sex worker hounded by her jealous husband is a joy to watch. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>Timo Malmi<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nobody\u2019s Hero is perhaps the most anomalous entry among Alain Guiraudie\u2019s filmography: a satirical comedy woven out of a bedchamber farce.
