We have some movie release news courtesy of Tull Stories as they have announced the launch of their new Joy of Cinema strand with the laugh-out-loud French comedy Oh My Goodness! The film is rolling into UK cinemas now.
Oh My Goodness! (Juste Ciel!) features a stellar, eccentric cast of Valérie Bonneton (Little White Lies, Summer Hours, Fais pas ci, fais pas ça), Camille Chamoux (Studio Bagel, Les gazelles, Love is Dead), Claire Nadeau (J’étais à ça, Nelly & Monsier Arnaud), Guilaine Londez (Benedetta, Mrs Harris Goes to Paris), Sidse Babett Knudsen (Borgen, Prime Target, Westworld), Louise Malek (Skam France), François Morel (Footnotes, Les vivants et les morts) and Jean-Michel Lahmi (Priceless, Follow).
When the local nursing home finds itself in dire straits and in danger of falling to pieces, it’s down to Mother Veronique (Valérie Bonneton) and the five eccentric sisters of the Convent of St. Benedict to find a way to help. Spotting a poster for a bike race with a €25,000 cash prize (and the incentive of a trip to the Vatican for the winner!), the sisters might just have their answer.
The only drawback is that they are terrible cyclists, and their rival convent, led by Mother Veronique’s childhood rival Mother Josephine (Sidse Babett Knudsen), have their own plans for the prize money – and just a little more experience…but God works in mysterious ways.
Fun and frothy, director Laurent Tirard’s (The Speech, Call My Agent!) hilariously absurd comedy will have you rolling in the aisles. The stunning landscapes of France’s Jura region provides a beautiful backdrop too!
Written by Cécile Larripa & Philippe Pinel (Last Call, Artem silendi), the film is a co-production between Les Films sur Mesure, Le Pacte and M6 Films.
