Purely Coincidental

The film showcases a group of friends who were once student revolutionaries in the Seventies. They gather after three decades to plan a robbery, but the narrative reveals their enduring bonds as they engage in card games and celebrate each other's birthdays.

Romain Goupil's approach gives the film an experimental feel, reminiscent of the cinema verite movement. The casual, almost home movie style is characterized by an improvised script, allowing for a raw exploration of friendship and nostalgia. This unique blend of comedy and documentary makes Purely Coincidental an interesting piece for collectors interested in unconventional storytelling and the evolution of film in the early 2000s.
