Connasse, princesse des coeurs

Movie Rating: Hela Khamarou

Camille says whatever is on her mind. She is brash, loud and annoying. With her 30th just behind her, she decides she needs a better life, one that doesn’t involve work. Camille want to go big: a luxurious life as a princess in ball gowns, together with Prince Charming. She is in search of a prince, and chooses Harry. Soon Camille is off to London’s Buckingham Palace, much to the chagrin of the English. But they don’t realize she is capable of much worse…

Co-directors Eloïse Lang and Noémie Saglio are reunited with Camille Cottin, the star of their shorts series "La Connasse", which was shown to great success on Canal +. A kind of French love child of “Candid Camera” and “Ali G.”, Cottin is wonderfully funny as she offers a portrait of a generation that is lazy, entitled and hard to put up with. An excellent step forward from the shorts, the movie is the trio’s best work. The scenes shot in London are hilarious and Cottin is exquisite as she plays the loud-mouthed “Princess of Inner Paris”. Lang, Saglio and Cottin, who have been working together since 2013, have made a quick-witted comedy that takes full advantage of the hidden camera genre, with 100% real reactions from passersby.
