Sara Forestier leads an ensemble cast through the ups and downs of Parisian twenty-something life in Playlist, Nine Antico's 2021 comedy.
What is Boyz Eide Oumadeh about?
At the center of Playlist sits a young woman balancing a coveted role in book publishing against a relationship falling apart and the return to waitressing she thought she had left behind. Antico, who built her name as a graphic novelist before moving into filmmaking, shapes the story around a series of everyday setbacks rather than one clean dramatic arc, letting friendships, work pressure, and self-doubt collide in small, specific scenes. The film's comic energy stays grounded, closer to rueful observation than broad laughs, following its lead through a stretch of life where nothing quite goes to plan.
About the cast
Sara Forestier anchors the film opposite Laetitia Dosch, with Andranic Manet, Inas Chanti, Pierre Lottin, Grégoire Colin, Jackie Berroyer, and Bertrand Belin rounding out the ensemble. The group mixes performers rooted in French comedy with others carrying heavier dramatic résumés, which lets the film's tone shift scene to scene without feeling uneven.
Context & significance
Playlist arrives from France with an 84-minute runtime and belongs to a recognizable strand of French comedy that treats a young adult's daily grind as worthy of close attention. Nine Antico's background as a cartoonist shows up in the film's eye for small, telling details of city life, from cramped apartments to the low-stakes indignities of service work, and marks her feature work as an extension of a visual storytelling career rather than a departure from it.
