The Story
Sautet was lured by a simple proposition: to make a film with actors, screenplay collaborators and technicians he had never worked with before. It was to be the beginning of a late-career renaissance for the director. Daniel Auteuil stars as Martial Pasquier. Newly released from a psychiatric hospital, Martial is dispatched to the sleepy provincial town of Limoges to perform a routine check-up on one of the family stores. Then he takes up with Francine, a semi-literate housemaid (Sandrine Bonnaire). The story turns from gentle class satire to full-blown farce. Among Sautet’s personal favorites.
