Holy Michael Youn! After having created the event at the Alpe d’Huez Festival in January, it is on the Amazon Prime platform that he will sow chaos with BDE (“Student Office” in full) from this Friday. There, he involves former classmates in a reunion that will turn into a disaster when they run into partying students.
“The escalation of delirium between the “old” of which I am a part with Helena Noguerra, Lucien Jean-Baptiste and Vincent Desagnat and the “young” played in particular by Rayane Bensetti and Ludovic seemed to me an ideal playground”, confides Michaël Youn to 20 minutes. Indeed, these two bands of jolly fellows go to great lengths to demolish a luxurious chalet and transform a peaceful ski resort into an icy hell.
A very organized mess
“We didn’t forbid ourselves anything, recognizes Michaël Youn, even if I recognize that I did not simplify my life by being both main actor and director. “Destruction, explosions, fights, pursuits and even a bear are among the ingredients proving that the comic has skimped neither on the means nor on the gags especially since he is also co-screenwriter with Matt Alexander. “It was very written, insists Michaël Youn. Because this kind of film can leave little room for improvisation if we want the pace to remain steady. And it doesn’t stop for a single second! Lovers of Michaël Youn’s nervous style will be delighted to find him in great shape and in good company on the slopes of laughter.
