Floride is mainly one thing: the last performance by Jean Rochefort in his last tailor-made role. He says good-bye to French cinema accompanied by the irresistible Sandrine Kiberlain and the award-winning director Philippe Le Guay (Women on the 6th Floor, Bicycling with Molière). Unfortunately, once more a formula that sounds good on paper doesn’t sparkle on screen, thanks to a mediocre approach on all levels: a bland plot, boring dialogue, classic directing, a pallid ambiance… Floride doesn’t offer much and rests too much on its laurels to engage the audience. And yet there is one surprise: Anamaria Marinca, winner of the Golden Palm for 4 Months, 3 Weeks, 2 Days, who manages bring real emotion to a minor role.
