Synopsis
Marc, a bipolar and paranoid filmmaker, cannot tolerate seeing his current project picked apart by his producers. The clips he’s been able to sneak a look at lead him to fear the worst. With his editor as an accomplice, he manages to spirit away the rushes to his aunt’s place in the Cévennes, to finish the film as he envisions it. Instead, its completion is constantly postponed, as he creates endless diversions and impasses, which alternate between the comic and the downright disturbing.
Community Reviews
Viewers find 'The Book of Solutions' a blend of humor and drama, showcasing Pierre Niney's compelling performance as a troubled director. The film's portrayal of bipolar disorder through creative chaos resonates with many, though some find it overly eccentric. Michel Gondry's signature quirky style is evident, adding layers of creativity that are both praised and critiqued for their complexity. While the film's unique approach and emotional depth are appreciated, its disjointed narrative and pacing leave some viewers perplexed and divided.
👍 Pierre Niney's performance is widely acclaimed.
👎 The film's narrative may be too disjointed for some.

Cette autobiographie m’a touché notamment de part sa bipolarité, qui je trouve est très bien représenté. Même si je pense c’est en partie le but de ce film, il y a beaucoup de point que je n’ai pas su analyser notamment la scène final. Mais en globalité j’ai compris le message, je comprendrais peut être l’intégralité en le re regardant
