    Very enjoyable
    This is a light comedy, nothing serious, and yet it has something to say.

    Especially at the end, when Philip Noiret appears out of nowhere and speaks about the financial decline and near death of the French cinema.

    But also when Carol Bouquet "heals" a paralytic and is worshiped by the crowd, to the point that - perhaps - she wonders if she has found her calling in life.

    This movie makes fun of movies. If you love movies, you will get a kick out of it.
