Beautifully crafted on every level, what begins as a high-concept romp and a delirious twist on the lovers-on-the-run genre evolves into an exceptional film, chock-a-block with poetry, tragedy, humanity and compassion. Bye Bye Morons\u00a0scored a veritable grand slam at this year\u2019s C\u00e9sar Awards, with 13 nominations and seven wins, including prizes for Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design, and Best Supporting Actor (Nicolas Mari\u00e9).<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Bye-Morons-Virginie-Efira\/dp\/B09FY3N9PX\/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3IPY9D9IDB1K&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.NqpKArlwrvU_tic5apRfpX_pULEXuwo9wTgNpalgxdKq-nUomL3ub6potjiUbegT129XRX_-NW5f0L37bwFUW3X9-z84wWGXmxNk9hxTFNfPBqVE4kzbmU9che1722wGwPSzLM3nuEMFHg3z10IrK3srwV50A4hwd2Ny90Oc_Nc-bARW4t-RQYvvT7wjrB-pkz7p4yuHKpIh0C1BUAr3zA.t_7A-pDYXyu16wE9Q8yeegqZHmReNz_p8fapx1a9NFk&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=albert+dupontel&amp;qid=1715529919&amp;s=instant-video&amp;sprefix=Dupontel%2Cinstant-video%2C169&amp;sr=1-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WATCH NOW<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BYE BYE\u00a0MORONS | 2020 &#8211; 88&#8242; &#8211; COMEDY, ROMANCE.
