Bernard Campman and Alexandre Jollien direct and star in Beautiful Minds. Everything about this subtle film is simply wonderful. From the music and cinematography to the actors and their performances. The film is hypnotic and beautiful.. funny and sweet. Campman plays Louis a hardened by life undertaker and Jollien is Igor a lonely disabled 38-year-old man who spends his days riding his tricycle distributing organic baskets..As Igor warmly states deep down both men are delivery men. Their paths cross and ultimately join after a traffic accident. A distracted Louis runs Igor off the road. From there the charming inspirational journey begins. And as fate would have it.. it begins at just the right time for both men who are in need of one another. The film reminds us of the importance of being able to lean on someone or something for the support needed to navigate life. Louis's support has been his work. Igor's from his friends Nietzsche, Spinoza and Descartes who exists only on paper. In Louis Igor finds a friend of flesh and blood. In Igor Louis finds a gentle soul able to provide the warmth his cold heart achingly needs. Joining Louis and Igor on the journey are Igor's mom (La Castou) Cathy (Tiphaine Daviot) Nicole (Julie-Anne Roth) Judith (Marilyne Canto) and Elsa (Marie Benati). They all provide just the right spices to make an already sweet film into a cinematic masterpiece. As Igor reminds us in the film.. there is a Zen tradition when you go through a door you let go.. the regrets and open yourself up to this beautiful life. Do yourself a favor let go open your heart and go through the beautiful body of work that is Beautiful Minds.
