Summary
Whilst Jacinthe becomes obsessed with the insects which seem to be taking over her apartment,
her best friend Léa takes an interest in an apparently dumb middle aged man who
works in a supermarket. One day, whilst en route for a stay in the countryside,
Léa sees the dumb man on a train and follows him to his home. Not having
seen Léa for several days, Jacinthe becomes concerned for her safety…
Review
Intended as the closing instalment in a loose trilogy of films (the first two being
Ça ira mieux demain (2000) and
C'est le bouquet! (2002)) Cause
toujours! is one of those gentle comedies which starts out well but just fails
to take off. Part of the problem is that its writer/director Jeanne Labrune
seems to have embarked on the project without a clear idea about where the story is heading,
who the characters are or indeed what kind of film it is. Consequently, the film
feels listless and disjointed, a pot pourri of interesting but pretty random ideas.
The numerous thriller references are clumsy and an unwelcome distraction, whilst the jokes
are much too obvious to make you laugh. The film has a great cast who do what they
can, but the lacklustre script and aimless direction greatly diminishes its enjoyment
value.
