A gem, a gem, and again : a gem!
The most "cult" film of the french production, this film never gets old thanks to the fantastic dialogs of the genius Michel Audiard...
The only drawback? French, french and french as can be! to understand fully this film's incredible wit, one has to be able to recognize in full the subtle nuances of french language, from the rudest expressions of gangster speech to the most upscale diplomatic language, with so many intermediate stops that it's impossible to tell!
"Morons dare anything...That's how one identifies them!"
"Hey did ya see that? During a truce? He's singing and then he's punching my face? but he's totally loony, that guy...Only, loonies, I cure them! I'm gonna give him a prescription, and a severe one for that matter! one will find him scattered at the four corners of Paris, puzzle fashion! when I'm done too much I don't correct anymore, I dynamite! I scatter! I break down!"
"- Okay then, take the truck and make the delivery yourself! - One has to be able to... - So what's holding you back? - At night, in the middle of the road, a man in uniform waving a lantern and shouting "stop!", what do you do? - Well I'm stopping of course, not running him over! -Well, that's why you still are in possession of a driving license, Sir...I'm not! "
And so much more...A National Treasure, I tell you!
