My Best Friend Mon meilleur ami
|
|
|
The prolific filmmaker Patrice Leconte was obviously in a good, but nonetheless thoughtful mood when he made this wonderful comedy. Daniel Auteuil is in top form as the skilled but insensitive antique dealer François. His business partner makes him take part in an apparently easy bet: within 10 days, François has to introduce her to his best friend. To his own great surprise, François has to acknowledge that he simply doesn’t have any friends. His pathetic attempts to seek out old acquaintances are extremely funny. In desperation, he asks a talkative taxi driver, Bruno (Dany Boon), if he can help him. It turns out that this man is as good at talking, as he’s bad at committing himself. It is a true pleasure to see the two brilliant actors beating about the bush, and the clever entertainment is far more thought-provoking and moving than one might expect. Watching My Best Friend, you can’t avoid thinking about your own life and friendships.
Patrice Leconte
Born 1947 in France. He was trained at the film school in Paris in the 1960s and has worked as a comic book artist, which influenced his first films, which were all comedies. He is known for both commercial as well as art house films, like the international breakthrough Monsieur Hire (1989). He has since made films such as The Hairdresser’s Husband (1990) and the Oscar-nominated Ridicule (1996). His previous film Friends Forever (2006) sold 11.2 million tickets in France.
Saturday the 22nd the director Patrice Leconte will introduce the film and answer questions from the audience after the screening. The French embassy offers a glass of wine before the screening.
