Comment c'est loin
After ten years of doing nothing, Orel and Gringe are in their mid 30s and they struggle to finish their first rap album. Their texts are mostly sex jokes and booze stories and reflect the everyday life they have in a small town from France. The problem is that they never really finished a song and when their producers want to meet, they have to face a new challenge : finish their first song in the next 24h. Their old issues, the fear of failure, their alcoholic friends and annoying girlfriends won't help them to do so, or will they ?
This film feels like a hazy, cynical look at arrested development. It's an observational comedy steeped in the mundane struggles of creative block and small-town life, with an irreverent, melancholic charm. The dialogue is sharp, capturing the aimless banter of friends stuck in a rut.
