I have found this film a bit slow and predictable. The acting is very good but unfortunately the film is at least half an hour too long and it made me yawn more than laugh.
This is a great film. First rate acting (including a small part for Eric Cantona) and extremely funny and beautifully photographed. What is particularly notable is the 'maleness' of it-it is a satire on snobbish, bourgeois women and admiration for sexier, more natural types. The best-drawn character is that of Francis's friend, a 'macho' if ever there was one, who acts as a magnetfor females. Very, very funny: a great portrait of old France!
