Today Max (Jean-Pierre Bacri), who has been a wedding planner for thirty years and is a bit blasé, is in charge of yet another magnificent wedding. As usual, he has coordinated everything: he has hired a brigade of waiters, cooks, and dishwashers; advised the couple on a photographer; reserved the band; and arranged the floral decorations. In short, he brought together all the best ingredients to ensure that the celebration is a success. His pragmatic motto is “We adapt...” and there will be plenty of opportunities to do just that, as nothing goes as planned and the event is always on the brink of turning into disaster and chaos.

Olivier Nakache & Éric Toledano (directors of the French hit The Intouchables, and Samba - winner of the SFFF 2016 Audience Prize) are back with an expertly composed and hugely enjoyable – often even hilarious – ensemble comedy that was filmed almost entirely in a seventeenth century castle. The strong cast includes some of France’s favorites: beside Bacri, in one of his signature grouchy roles, Jean-Paul Rouve, Gilles Lellouche, and Vincent Macaigne; as well as fabulous newcomers: Kevin Azaïs, Eye Haidara, and William Lebghil, to name a few.

The jubilant C’est la vie! makes us experience the wedding from behind the scenes, through the gaze of those who work and who, despite everything, are ultimately united by the common goal to make the party an unforgettable success.

Don't miss this delightful feel-good comic gem, with a sweet love story added to the mix, on the giant screen of the IMAX Theatre!
