A must see for historians and lovers of World War 2 movies
A great movie, that does comedy about the french ocupation, wich is a very delicate theme in France. You must either know french or have someone willing to transalte for you, so you can really enjoy the movie.

Puzzling comedy that makes you laugh but...
A stellar cast. A French comedy that actually makes you laugh.Politically incorrect. Could it be better?Yes, definitely yes. I felt since the beginning that this film was madeby either a deranged mind or by a film student. The plot is erratic atbest, it needs some heavy "editing". It'd never survived a "studio",for good and bad reasons. It's an original take on the French"resistance", although following all the clichés (the dumb Germans/"Boches") follow 2 stereotypes: a) cultivated, full of mannerisms (agood Roland Giraud) and b) fat ugly dumb characters (Jacques Villeret,who has acted like God on "Diner des cons" and "Les Enfants du Marais")(Gérard Jugnot, who did well in a small role at "Bronzés 3"). Theprejudices on gays and foreigners, like Ramírez (let alone Germans, butthat's natural given the "genre").What really puzzled me was the last "act". Very "Theatre in theatre", Ithink that, hadn't it been there, the audience would have appreciated.But playing mind games, acting well and pretending to be witty musthave allured them to make one take too many.A film with Brialy and Balasko in very secondary roles has to beperfect or it's a failure. This is not exactly perfect... Michel Blanc(!), a dazzling Dominique Lavanant (Soeur Therese)... there's not oneactor who cannot star a good film.Lhermitte as a Nazi is funny if peculiar, Yanne as a collaborationistis just one of the sour role we know he does so well.Jacques Villeret did the scene I liked most, his musical "numero" ofVon Apfelstrudel (!)'s feelings. Perfect (and very funny!). Look at the"coreography" with Nazi soldiers moving like starlets :).I'm glad I saw this film, I think it's rather "corageous" in some ofits aesthetic decisions, but wouldn't recommend it without knowing theaudience's tastes!

Una película un tanto grotesca sobre la resistencia durante la ocupación en Francia
Una historia descabellada aunque con factores reales que se ironizan hasta llegar al absurdo. Un un cuadro d actores que pasan casi corriendo por la película y que hace que uno se quede c las ganas d profundizar un poco en tanto rifirrafe ...La características técnicas son buenas xo no tiene ningún subtítulo, ni siquiera en francés xa sordos. Tb hay entrevistas c el director, etc ... Es un buen precio xa este producto ... y lo bueno es que se puede revisionar una y otra vez sin perder el placer d la historia y los personajes.

Culte
Un film culte, avec d'excellents acteurs, des dialogues tout aussi excellent. Bref à ne pas manquer d'autant plus que la version blu-ray permet d'avoir une qualité d'image et de son excellente.

Toller Film, leider nur in Französisch...
Die Angabe auf der Produktbeschreibung besagt, dass die DVD auch deutschen Ton hat. Stimmt leider nicht. Die DVD ist einsprachig französisch.

Oui, sans plus
L'équipe du splendid toujours fidèle à sa dégringolade dans l"humour vulgaire et démodé, après les bronzés (nuls). C'est un film qui échappe à la règle du vulgaire, si on peut éviter l'hystérie de Gérard Jugnot (qui ne joue pas mais qui gueule à n'en plus finir, c'est insupportable). Christian Clavier est le seul qui tire son épingle du jeu, d'ailleurs après (pas bête) il quitte l'équipe et ne joue plus que dans de bons films. 3 étoiles pour Jacqueline Maillan, Jacques François, Roland Giraud et qq autres échappés du Splendid.
