For his first feature film, Nicolas Pliskof chooses crime comedy, with a nice cast. Murder Party comes out on Wednesday March 9, with Alice Pol, Eddy Mitchell, Miou-Miou and Gustave Kervern who host this three-dimensional board game, at a time when board game sales are exploding.
Architect, Jeanne arrives at the Daguerre manor to restore the building. The patriarch is at the head of a company queen of board games. When he is found murdered, Jeanne takes the lead of the investigation in a crazy family, obsessed with board and role-playing games.
Nicolas Pliskof recreates on screen the graphic atmosphere of a playmat in the sets and costumes, against a very British background where the absurd dominates. The director is not far from a Jean-Pierre Jeunet in his “sublimation” of the outdated, while highlighting the archetypes.
Same thing for the acting with a very theatrical tone. The cinema takes back its rights by visiting all the corners of a mansion with mysteries. Good actors, including Eddy Mitchell who plays around with pleasure, give salt to a good-natured and family film… like a board game. Colorful and cheerful.
