A summer evening full of fine comedy and subtle demands
Chéri, I'm Coming! - The Invention of Desire brings a French-influenced comedy to the screen at filmforum Duisburg on July 28, 2026, that works with wit, charm, and an honest view of marriage, desire, and self-discovery. The film by Reem Kherici combines light elegance with a surprisingly serious core, striking exactly the tone that turns good entertainment into a harmonious cinematic experience.
Between marital frustration and zest for life
At the center is a couple whose everyday life is already shaped by routines, financial worries, and unspoken tensions. It is precisely this friction that gives the production its tension: here, the comedy is not exaggerated in a cliché manner, but instead, with precise dramaturgy, a web of relationships is opened that appears both comical, vulnerable, and human. The blend of romantic entanglement and social observation creates that theatrical atmosphere which instantly reaches the audience even in a cinema.
French charm, clear directorial signature
Reem Kherici opts for a direction that balances pace and warmth. The feel-good film tackles a sensitive topic without ever becoming awkward and benefits from the chemistry between Alexandra Lamy and François Cluzet. The characters remain relatable, the comedy arises from situations, glances, and linguistic nuances - exactly where acting talent and precise tone make a difference. Thus, an evening unfolds that feels light yet possesses substance.
