Everything Went Fine

When André (André Dussollier), 85, suffers a stroke, Emmanuèle (Sophie Marceau) runs to her father. In his hospital bed, sick and with half his body paralyzed, André asks his daughter to help him end his life. But how can Emmanuèle honor such a request when it comes to her own father?

More than a film about assisted death, Everything Went Fine is a frugal drama and an ode to vitality composed of distant and neutral gestures.

François Ozon

One of the most important names in French cinema today, François Ozon is a director and screenwriter whose films are often characterized by an acute satirical acumen and a liberal view of human sexuality. After studying directing at the famous French film school La Fémis, he made several short films. He made his feature debut in 1997, with Regarde la Mer, which was followed by Sitcom and Criminal Lovers. In 2000, with Water Drops on Burning Rocks, an adaptation of a play by Rainer Werner Fassbinder, he won the Teddy Prize at the Berlin Festival. In the same year, he directed Under the Sand, starring Charlotte Rampling, and, in 2002, 8 Women, which brought together some of the most illustrious French actresses, such as Catherine Deneuve, Fanny Ardant, Danielle Darrieux, Isabelle Huppert or Emannuelle Béart. Everything Went Fine marks his first collaboration with actress Sophie Marceau.
