Written and directed by award-winning filmmaker François Ozon, the French film Everything Went Fine (Tout s’est bien passé) is a powerful family drama, where a man with a devastating final wish contacts his daughter to help him and forces her to reconcile her painful past with him. The film is based on the based on the novel Everything Went Well by Emmanuèle Bernheim, and stars Sophie Marceau, André Dussollier, Géraldine Pailhas, Charlotte Rampling along with Éric Caravaca.
Everything Went Fine had its world premiere at Cannes Film Festival and will open in New York on April 14, expanding to Los Angeles and other select cities across the country on April 21 and beyond.
From François Ozon (8 Women, Swimming Pool) comes a powerful family drama in which a daughter is forced to reconcile with her father and their shared past after he contacts her with a devastating final wish. When André (André Dussollier) suffers a debilitating stroke and calls on his daughter Emmanuèle (Sophie Marceau) to help him die with dignity, she finds herself faced with a painful decision. Based on Emmanuèle Bernheim’s memoir and an Official Selection of the Cannes Film Festival, Everything Went Fine’s matter-of-factness elicits moments of humor that renders an otherwise weighty topic accessible. Steering clear of the moral arguments such issues often raise, the film instead focuses on the reckoning Emmanuéle has with her stubborn and unrelenting father and how to help him, with Ozon tackling a difficult subject with exceptional intelligence and sensitivity. Featuring stunning central performances by Marceau and Dussollier as well as a scene-stealing cameo by Charlotte Rampling as André’s ex-wife.
