The Antidote
Directed by Vincent de Brus1h 47m2005
JAM (Christian Clavier), a French "master of the universe" is on the brink of a major takeover when he starts suffering from anxiety attacks. His doctor (Lhermite) thinks it is to do with childhood experiences and suggests he searches back in his mind to something that could be the trigger and will prove to be the antidote.
Our read: The Antidote (2005) reads as a warm, kinetic, grounded comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
