Tenue de soirée

The film is hilarious, particularly enjoyable and sad. We wonder for a while where Bertrand Blier is going, especially during the first third of the film, but finally the film takes us away and we don't care, as Michel Blanc and Miou-Miou, who are caught in the whirlwinds that Bob, that is Gérard Depardieu, in the role of the one who always has an idea in the back of his head.

This is an opportunity for the actors to say some anthology dialogues during relatively trivial scenes where the different actors are credible. Bertrand Blier writes a score that his actors interpret with brio.

We believe in it, and it is the strength of the film: this couple who meets Gérard Depardieu, a seductive burglar whose interest in the couple we do not understand at first and then we end up understanding (or not!). And to finish the last final scene where our 3 main characters do the trot in a set of high-flying dialogues for a sequence of impressive power: it's a huge score that the director-writer has written for them.

The film contains its share of anthology scenes that he seems to string together like pearls, some of them with a lot of humor, but also a lot of despair.
