"Curb Your Enthusiasm": Larry David more biting than ever in season 11<

The first time we refused to believe it as it was visible, larger than the nose in the middle of the figure or the elephant in the room.In the first episode of season 11 of Curb Your Enthusim (Larry and his Nounge in VF, Curb very short for fans), Larry David goes to the premises of Netflix to pitch his new series project to a sup fictional framework ofThe streaming dish named Don Jr (as the noisiest of Trump's sons).The decor is routine: large windows opening on the undifferentiated suburbs of Los Angeles, large sofas intended for informal meetings and three assistants with overplayed enthusiasm to make tapestry.Little substance in this team but a perfectly studied composition: a woman in a wheelchair, a black man and a lesbian, at least according to the stereotypes in force - unless it is a non -binary person -,What does it matter, we quickly identified the picture: a malicious caricature of a world subject to cultural injunctions of the WOKE generation (or rather of the opportunistic recovery of their fights by multinationals).The satire is all the more virulent as it is played in the silence of the figuration, our witnesses of the difference not exceeding the rank of accessories.We will find the same or almost a little later, in the offices (fictional still) of Hulu, another streaming platform.To believe that there is in Hollywood a place where one can rent a quota of diversity as we rent costumes.

Also to believe that Larry David is one of the few who can so fiercely attack the time without running the risk of being taken to part by the heralds of Culture Culture, as they say in Franglais.No doubt because he is the first victim of his causticity.Eleven seasons already that he painted himself in a beautiful Maso impetus in irreducible misanthropic, accused in turn of racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, disability and anti -Semitism (not the most modest of his successes, being himself Jewish), in short that he paints himself as the worst person of the world: wealthy co-creator of Seinfeld (sitcom flagship of nineties recently available on Netflix) left to sink idle days in Los Angeles, where his characterImpossible and its foolproof cowardice are wreaking havoc.

Each episode is built around a micro-incident mounted in snow until a grotesque outcome, a well-established mechanics that relies on a handful of worn patterns to the dregs but shaped into infinite variations.In Curb, the slightest visit to the dentist or the pressing leads to disastrous consequences for his hero who in general deserved it: in episode 4 of the new season, the.D.(pronounce "Eldi"), asks a Jewish confession whitening to clean the dress of a member of the Ku Klux Klan whom he unfortunately stained.Faintness.The hate militant turns out to be rather nice, modest farmer dropped by the world.Symer in any case than Woody Harrelson, star of True Detective, fairly creepy in the parody he comes to give himself and his (real) activism in favor of the animal cause (the series is full of prestigious guests interpreting theirown role).The radical postures of Hollywood illuminated make a comic material at least as noble as the obscurantism of Trump fanatics.

In another episode, a limousine awaits Larry David at the airport.Stupor: the driver is a woman, of modest corpulence, a real little sparrow.Imagine his embarrassment.Should David let her carry her luggage because it is her job and that she is just as capable as a man?Or should he help him because the gallantry one day wanted it that way, not only the gallantry elsewhere, but also the simple sense since it must weigh 40 kilos to break everything?The moral dilemma seems a little forced, the data of the problem varying according to the cases (and then perhaps that each person able to do it should wear their own suitcases), but you have to decide: you have 4 hours.Larry, he will take care of his business on his own.Result: a distressing back and a visit to a physiotherapy released by his patients because he wears holes.We live in an abject world.
