A fantastic little black comedy, up there with Kind Hearts And Coronets and A Fish Called Wanda. This is a very funny film, in a dry, witty way which gives it real style. The four lead performances are all good, but Jean Rochefort in particular does a brilliant dead-pan in the lead role. There are plenty of good lines, but the funniest jokes are visual- the synchronising of the push-chair gently bumping the car with the noise of the crash behind, or the re-appearance of the parrot behind Madame Maynard. And Patachou's cameo in that role (the mother, not the parrot) makes the movie worth seeing alone. Highly recommended, and worth seeing twice for the subtle jokes you miss the first time. And if you're wondering: yes, Guilliame Depardieu does have his father's nose.
