Nationale 7

About This Movie

So, 'Nationale 7' is quite the curious little film. It’s set in a nursing home, which already gives it a unique backdrop. René, the main character, is this irritable guy with myopathy, and honestly, he's not winning any popularity contests among the residents. But then you’ve got Julie, this fresh-faced educator who's got an interesting way of pushing his buttons. Their dynamic is what really makes the film stand out. It dances between comedy and drama, and the pacing feels like a slow drive down a winding road – you get these moments of levity amidst the weighty themes of aging and desire. The performances have this raw, honest quality. It’s not your typical tale of disability, and that’s kind of refreshing.

Unique blend of comedy and drama · Explores themes of aging and desire · Strong character dynamics
