An Exercise In Nonsense
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
A made-for-TV film of a live production of a stage version in Paris, not a musical though there is a bit of singing and dancing. Nor is it set in the eponymous night club but in the apartment of Georges and Albin next door.As the odd couple, Georges (Christian Clavier, to some extent reprising his gloriously camp hotelier in "Les Visiteurs") and Albin (Didier Bourdon, neither petite nor at all pretty) are wonderful: their body language, their dialogue and their often bizarre outfits are all a joy. The supporting cast are really just that, subordinate to the drama between the two principals and not intended to shine. Special mention though for the black cook Jacob (Thierry Laurion), who steals the scene on every appearance.
