French comedy meets Parisian city life in Playlist, a 2021 feature directed by Nine Antico and led by Sara Forestier.
What is Googoosh Eyde Ashegh about?
Playlist follows a young woman navigating publishing ambitions, a relationship in freefall, and the daily grind of waitressing work in Paris. Adapted from a graphic-novel sensibility, the film leans on Antico's background as a comic artist to frame ordinary setbacks with a wry, observational eye. Rather than a tidy rise-and-fall arc, the story moves through a string of small collisions between what its lead wants to make and what she is asked to accept, with friends and colleagues drifting in and out of the frame the way they do in a real, unglamorous twenties. The tone stays closer to bittersweet comedy than farce.
About the cast
Sara Forestier heads the ensemble, joined by Laetitia Dosch, Andranic Manet, Inas Chanti, Pierre Lottin, Grégoire Colin, Jackie Berroyer, and Bertrand Belin. The lineup blends performers known for French comedy with actors carrying more dramatic credits, giving the ensemble scenes room to shift registers.
Context & significance
Nine Antico, a cartoonist by training, brings a distinct visual and comic sensibility to her feature directing work, and Playlist reflects that background in how it stages everyday Parisian settings. Produced in France and running 84 minutes, the film sits squarely in the tradition of French relationship comedies that favor character texture over plot mechanics, tracking one stretch of a young adult's life rather than a single dramatic event. Viewers drawn to ensemble-driven stories about creative work, money pressure, and shifting friendships will find familiar territory here, filtered through a comic-book artist's eye for small, telling gestures rather than big turning points.
