In "Everything went well", André Dussollier plays André Bernheim, an art collector who has a stroke and comes out diminished.
Not supporting what he has become, this lively man with a well-hung tongue asks his daughter Emmanuèle, played by Sophie Marceau, to help him die.
The film is an adaptation of the eponymous novel by Emmanuèle Bernheim, which tells about her own experience after her father's stroke.
The novelist, who died in 2017, was a great friend of François Ozon, with whom she wrote the scripts for several of her films: "Swimming Pool", "5x2" or "Ricky" in particular.
For the director, this shoot had a taste of nostalgia and, despite the absence of his accomplice, the film does not sink into pathos but on the contrary surprises with bursts of laughter, with an exceptional André Dussollier.
