Ce jour-là

Livia, a young woman with childlike innocence, is heir to an immense fortune. Her family – cold, cynical, and desperate to obtain the wealth – hires a Swiss killer, just released from the asylum, to do the dirty work... Wackier, wittier, and more surreal than ever, the Chilean director offers a delightfully macabre farce on madness, with a backdrop of satire on capitalism. Playing on an unusual linguistic farce with absurd repetitions, Ruiz continues inventing. This political and poetic delight is performed by an irresistible cast, starring Elsa Zylberstein and Bernard Giraudeau.
