(2000) ***1/2Michel and Claire are on holiday with their 3 children. They make a stop and while using the facilities Michel runs into Harry, an old high school mate. After some conversation Harry and his girlfriend Prune make plans to follow the family to their vacation house. All seems pleasant enough as Harry and Michel reminisce about the old days. Harry keeps going on about what a wonderful writer Michel was back then and wonders why he didn't stick with it. As the visit goes on Harry actually seems a bit obsessive about Michel's writing. The other strange thing about Harry is his mountainous generosity. So much so that it makes Michel and Claire uncomfortable. He buys them a brand new suv for cryin' out loud! However Harry has a bit of a problem, he's determined to eliminate anybody who stands in the way of Michel's true destiny, becoming the writer he should have been.
It's incredible and edible.Exhibit A
Exhibit B
I didn't notice this a bit while watching Calvaire but it was quite obvious in this film. It might have had a lot to do with the hairdo. You be the judge.

That egg picture is a riot.
Love the JSP doppelganger! Who knew?
I have this on deck as part of my French extravaganza. I'm glad to hear this is good. I need it after all of the French porn I've suffered through.
The doppelganger thing is hysterical. I'm actually in the middle of another movie with this actor. I do agree that him and JSP. could have been separated at birth, but I also see a resemblance between him and 50 as well. I think if you combined 50 and JSP, you'd have an exact replica of Laurent Lucas.
You've also saved me from having to write a summary. Yes!!!!
I do see the 50P connection, maybe he's a clone of both. Wait, who's older?
It's like looking in a mirror!
Hysterical observation! I agree with Whirly, if you take 50P + JSP you get this character. My mother is convinced that JSP is also starring in The Office.
I too had this film ready to watch - you scooped me again! It sounds good from your review.
