French comic sci-fi / futuristic farce on Netflix. The garish colour palette and over the top acting make this a real in your face attack on the senses. As usual I watched it in the original soundtrack with English subtitles.
The story is kind of incidental - rogue AI decides to kill people, house robots protect their owners (or are they friends) - because this is really just some good French characters doing what they do best... not getting what they want from life and complaining / fighting about it.
It's kind of clichéd with the older rejected wife facing her ex-husband and his younger girlfriend, the chancer poking around, the young man awkwardly desiring the young girl and the much older lady with the mechanised gigolo (or talking dildo as I'm sure someone says at some point).
But throw in some robots and it is novel enough to be entertaining in a slightly different way from all the other french comedies that you may, or may not, have enjoyed in the past.
Nothing amazing, but quite fun.
