Yeah, I really liked this film. I especially loved Michele Laroque. She has that same cool beauty as Catherine Deneuve, but she seems a bit more approachable. <br/><br/>And I agree with you re: Depardieu. I was surprised and disappointed (spoiler alert!) that the filmmaker didn't resolve his character's confusion at the end of the film. Or maybe his departure from the institution <i>was</i> the resolution, but it was ultimately dissatisfying.<br/><br/><b>Randal</b>, did this win a Sundance award? I wouldn't be surprised. Yeah, it was hilarious. Even my husband liked it, and he doesn't normally care for most of my French films. I squirmed in my seat during that gay pride parade -- I felt so bad for him!<br/><br/>Salut,<br/>Marjorie Bonjour, LBR! Yeah, I really liked this film. I especially loved Michele Laroque.

Randal, did this win a Sundance award? I wouldn’t be surprised. Yeah, it was hilarious. Even my husband liked it, and he doesn’t normally care for most of my French films. I squirmed in my seat during that gay pride parade — I felt so bad for him!

Salut,
Marjorie

I thought it was pretty goddamn funny. Nothing tops the scene when Auteuil's in the parade wearing that lovely cap. ;-) I remember catching this on Sundance last year.

But, I did enjoy it. I really Like Daniel Autiel in almost everything I have ever seen him in. Depardieu's talents are not well used in this film, in my opinion.<br/><br/>Nice review, Marjorie. If I hadn't have seen it I would have added it to my Netflix list based on your review. :-) No this isn’t a deep movie. But, I did enjoy it.

Nice review, Marjorie. If I hadn’t have seen it I would have added it to my Netflix list based on your review. :-)
