This kind of stuff seems to have been made for saturday evening home audiences, certainly not destined to movie theaters. It is very well acted, made, convincing. The director is a vet film maker for such material. Bernard Campan is so engrossing in his role. It sounds so real, authentic, and it's not a stupid, silly comedy, senseless story to amuse, entertain housewives or the whole family eating chicken. It is not a thriller but only a drama, which French Tv industry have the secret. The recipe for this kind of tale is to be close - and not closed - to daily life, close to normal people. That doesn't make you dream, but at least it is believable. That depends of what the audiences seek.
