Roughly a
year after the horrible murders at Charlie Hebdo comes a documentary about the
event. And that’s pretty much all there is to it. Talking heads, archive
footage, some of the hate triggering drawings. Instead of crossing the line in
the same way as the magazine portrayed, blasphemously challenging the
religitards, Leconte just goes tepid on a hot topic.
It might
have been better had I been more subdued in French satire tradition, but as it
is, this was just ‘meh’. And that’s not the reaction you want for a work
depicting something as controversial as the events of January 7th 2015.
