I saw this movie in French when I was 12 yo, and then a year after with Spanish subtitles. I watched I believe, 3 or 4 times over a two week vacation.
It is a movie that I wish my children had seen in the same context I watched it. It is a movie that teaches a very strong message in a very funny way. Values were prevalent in the French movies of back then, nowadays sex and scandal have taken over.
Pierre Richards is phenomenal in this movie. It became part of only a handful of movies that I watched as a child that I still remember.
We need in the US to find a more expedite way to watch foreign films. The offer is simply just an insignificant part of what is out there. Netflix does not carry it. We need a distributor!
