Synopsis
A Great Friend (Les Choses simples, 2023) is a French comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Vincent is a high-flying entrepreneur whose life runs on calls and deals — until his car dies on a mountain road. Help arrives from Pierre, a man who walked away from all of that years ago to live alone in the hills.
Two complete opposites end up stuck together for a few days. Lambert Wilson plays the polished businessman who schedules every minute; Grégory Gadebois is his calm counterweight, content with firewood, a stream and quiet. At first everything about each other grates. Then come the laughs, the late-night talks, and an awkward question neither can dodge: is this really the life I chose?
Director Éric Besnard delivers a warm, unsentimental film about slowing down. No disaster, no big twist — just sweeping mountain scenery, two strong leads and 95 easy minutes. Put it on when you want to exhale. Stream A Great Friend (2023) online on iFILM.
