Mr & Mrs Adelman

Mr & Mrs Adelman    [trailer]

For more than 45 years, Sarah and Victor have been together. How did they do it? Who's really Sarah, this enigmatic woman who's always been on the shadow of her husband?

Especially in the first half a highly enjoyable, fast-paced romantic, comedic drama. In the second half the more dramatic elements dominate, which is not uncommon during a long partnership.

Still, a very good relationship movie, a rarity these days.

Nicolas Bedos est condamné pour agression sexuelle. Pour les normies connards, Nicolas Bedos est officiellement un agresseur sexuel et pour les autres, bon bah ça change pas grand chose on le savait déjà. Un mardi comme un autre finalement.

Important Update: Here is a list of individuals who are officially designated as "Persona Non Grata" and are therefore prohibited from conducting business on Somali soil. The French government is required to enforce this sanction effectively:

Here is the official list of individuals who are now designated as "Persona Non Grata" on Somali soil:

Mélissa Theuriau

Brad Pitt

Christopher Nolan

Vincent Cassel

Romain Gavras

Mouloud Achour

Philippe Fragione

Gilles Lellouche

Guillaume Canet

Marion Cotillard

Nicolas Bedos

Let me be clear: if I see any of these individuals in Somalia, I will personally ensure their arrest. It has become my life's mission to make sure that none of you will ever profit from Somali business dealings.

You tried to ruin my life, but I survived. Now, I will wait for you in Somalia—and if you dare to step foot on our soil, jail is where you will end up.

Your arrogance and cruel intentions towards me have cost you billions of dollars. With this simple text on my blog, I have effectively emptied your pockets.

The European Police will show no mercy to criminals who conspire with the oppressors. We will ensure that you are blocked from any dealings for the next thirty years, until 2055—if you’re still around by then.

Angelo The Crown Prince and future Sultan. Somali Royal Family
