But then I had one whole week to go through it before the next one. This helped to pace myself since some episodes went on for as long as 2 hours. Watch Okja, Mother, Snow Piercer and Barking Dogs Don’t Bite.ĭramas can be long but I just wrapped up Hospital Playlist and this was a slow release one- one episode a week. Hmmm how about some Korean movies then? I am in love with the works of Bong Joon-ho and how he dissects the deep rooted capitalist practices in South Korea, how he uses music which completely belies what is happening on the screen which is so real, yet farcical, and the different sides he explores. If you want some good light-hearted entertainment, this is a film I heartily recommend. German actors play the Germans, for instance, and converse in German, though they can speak a bit of French now and then to communicate.

I found it laudable, too, that the film-makers took the trouble to cast native speakers of languages in all the speaking roles. Bourvil is a joy, and the rest of them, from Terry-Thomas to Benno Sterzenbach as the German Major Achbach, are uniformly good. Le Grande Vadrouille, I think, is even better (and de Funès is better, too) than Le Grand Restaurant. Louis de Funès I had discovered while watching Le Grand Restaurant, and I liked him so much, I was eager to watch other films of his. Just how someone (director/scenario writer Gérard Oury, and adaptation writers Marcel Julien and Danièle Thompson) could make such a hilarious romp out of something that could have been just an edge-of-the-seat adventure, says a lot for the importance of story and script in good cinema.Īnd, the acting.

Even when you’re certain somebody must have died in that particular incident, the film takes just a moment to show you that no, all is well. As an example of how frothy this is: while there are guns aplenty, and much shooting etc happening, nobody ever dies. It’s pure escapist fun, an utter farce, even though it’s set in a time of war, of the Nazi occupation of France. This one, in my opinion, is the sort of film that’s tailor-made for people who’re struggling to stay sane through the pandemic.
