What We Think

A delightfully non-woke classic. Jour de Fête is a snapshot of simple postwar France, blissfully free of identity politics or postmodern revisionism, just good, clean comedic fun.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Jour de Fête is a straightforward, lighthearted French comedy focused entirely on its eccentric postman character. Characterization relies on personality and skill, not identity politics. There is no sign of forced representation or narrative being sacrificed for ideology.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The film gently pokes fun at French rural life and traditions, but never subverts or mocks cultural foundations like family, religion, or masculinity. Instead, it celebrates ordinary life and community values typical of its era.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Jour de Fête doesn’t push any ideological agenda; it’s a charming slice-of-life comedy without political undertones or caricatured portrayals of alternative viewpoints. No grand statements, just gentle humor.
