De force avec d'autres(1993)

De Force Avec d'Autres is a French drama about a washed-up actor and singer named Sergio who struggles with alcoholism and despair. His son Simon decides to make a film featuring his father, hoping the project will pull Sergio back from the brink. The title—meaning "by force with others"—captures the film's central tension: can creative collaboration and familial determination resurrect a life spiraling downward? The story explores themes of redemption, artistic revival, and the complicated bonds between parent and child. As Simon documents his father's decline and attempts at recovery, the film becomes both a personal intervention and a meditation on whether art can heal what addiction has broken.
