Everything's fine (we're leaving ) is a French drama directed by Claude Mouriéras from 2000.
action
The three sisters Claire, Béatrice and Laure were left by their father Louis 15 years ago. They all live in Lyon now and, despite the usual little quarrels, are very closely connected. The baby Claire lives as a squatter in a dilapidated building and loves her piano playing above all else. The eldest Laure runs a dance school that finances the well-heeled Béatrice.
The life of the three women becomes chaotic when Claire, without her sisters' knowledge, invites her father to live with her. Since Louis left their mother, Béatrice and Laure have wanted nothing more to do with him. Louis is now an old man suffering from the first signs of Alzheimer's . Claire does not dare to tell her sisters about the presence of her father and is increasingly suffering from remorse. One day, Louis visits the single parent Laure, who lives in the former parents' house. Confused and speechless, Laure reacts extremely dismissively and forbids him to see his granddaughter Marion. In shock, she spends the next few hours with Claire and Béatrice, but without reporting on Louis' visit. Louis watches Marion on the way to school and identifies himself as her grandfather. The rushing Laure sends him angrily away.
When Louis stands at Béatrice's door, the situation escalates. She explains to him that in her eyes he is no longer alive and slams the door again. This resulted in an argument with her partner Arthur, who left her a little later. The first time all four meet, Béatrice screams insultingly and falls out of favor with Claire, who is on her father's side. Laure tries rather to take on the mediating and reserved part.
Over time, the situation calms down, but Louis still disapproves. A medical exam shows that his disease is inevitably progressing. Claire takes him to a piano competition, which she wins despite tough competition. For her career, she would like to move to Toulouse and also take her father with her to look after him. During the night, however, Louis throws himself in front of a train and dies.
Claire, Béatrice and Laure sit together to talk about it and to settle the formalities. It turns out that Louis wrote his daughters a letter every year, but Claire and Béatrice never saw them. The two get into an argument with Laure. After the funeral, Claire leaves for Toulouse and is accompanied to the train station by her sisters. Béatrice thanks her shortly before the train leaves.
criticism
"Kammerspiel, which is characterized by an excellent ensemble and the ability of the director to extract some cheerful moments from the melancholy subject."
“Claude Mouriéras' film oscillates between intellectual French comedy and heartbreaking drama. The grandiose trio of women laughs, sobs and intrigues, while Grand Seigneur Piccoli loses nothing of its intensity in his old days. "
“Mouriéras hits exactly the ambivalent atmosphere that defines the inclination and hatred of the family. The 75-year-old Michel Piccoli once again proves his sovereign acting skills, sometimes as a calculating intriguer, then again as a slimy tatter-type seeking forgiveness. But the three actresses Miou-Miou, Natacha Régnier and Sandrine Kiberlain are not inferior to him in terms of persuasiveness. Everything is great entertainment with a little tear in the buttonhole, which should not only, but above all, arouse approval from Francophile viewers. "
