Nicolas Maury’s My Best Part Playing at Laemmle Until March 3

Best known to American audiences as Hervé, the frantic agency assistant in the hit Netflix series Call My Agent!, actor Nicolas Maury moves behind the camera, directing, co-writing and starring in this coming-of-age dramedy, My Best Part. Here, the actor courageously steps into the skin of the mercurial Jérémie, a hypersensitive struggling actor with an uncontrollable green-eyed monster on his back. Grappling with personal loss, a love life in shambles and a faltering career, Jérémie often turns to his clear-headed mother for support (Nathalie Baye in one of the loveliest roles of her career) in this auspicious, often touching, directorial debut.

Screenplay co-written and directed by Nicolas Maury
112 Minutes, French

“A bittersweet comedy-drama that manages to be hilarious in one scene and extremely touching in the next.” – The Hollywood Reporter
