The Sardonic comic of the first fiction season of Anne Bererest and Fabrice Gobert gives way to the melodramatic suspense in the second.
by
Sometimes the series mute before our eyes. Mytho had started his metamorphosis during the first season, when the black comedy imagined by Anne Berest (a mother of the family finally wins the attention and affection of his people by inventing a tumor) had slipped into a fantastic dimension, in which one discerned what was waiting for Elvira Lambert (Marina Hands) and his tribe.
At the end of the six episodes of this second season, we are fixed: despite some lighter interdals, we will navigate between tragedy and melodrama. Far away descendants of the Atrides, cousins ewing, Lambert tear away, move away and meet with abasnating revelations and confrontations of Clan members with the constraints and violence of our world.
It will therefore be necessary to follow more frequented paths, guided by characters now familiar and their excellent performers. The strangeness of mytho’s debut, which was based on its exorbitant postulate, now lies in the staging of Fabrice Gobert and Romaric Thomas and Patrick Blossier’s image. They invent an infinity of disturbing variations around the village banality of the decor, suburban rituals of everyday life. It’s enough to maintain interest, without being convinced of the need to renew the lease of Lambert.
Cinephile quotes
So we find Elvira leading a life of banned, rejected by his family after the revelation of his lie. The injustice of the situation is exacerbated by the staging of the lies, aware and unconscious, which structure the existence of the spouse of the reprobate, Patrick (Mathieu Demy), which flees the consequences of his infidelity in depression; Carole (Marie Drion, Sound Minette), the eldest daughter, is, she, taken in the Mrs. Menard’s fellshings (Catherine Mouchet, terrifying), who holds the local branch of a sect resembling the Church of Scientology; Sam (Jérémy Gillet, probably the most endearing figure), the child Gender Fluid, tells himself that the boy he loves him makes his affection. As for Virginia, Benjamine (Zélie Rixhon), she practices the most basic form of reality denial, that which consists of closing the ears by singing very hard.
While Elvira strives to find the way to the house, others put themselves on his way, starting with Lorenzo (Luca Terracciano), the very young man of which she was tattooed the first name in the neck. What ferments between these two anchor resolutely this season on the side of the melodrame. Sandrine (Marie Bouvet) The neighborhood that it looks like she has managed to follow all the advice of all the titles of the female press, undertakes with patience and a disturbing abnegation to take the place of Elvira with Patrick.
