Synopsis
Louis Le Bison has just moved into his new Parisian apartment. He
likes his beauty sleep and is not pleased when his next door neighbour
and concierge, Dorine, wakes him with her vacuum cleaner.
Pregnant with her fifth child, Dorine is thrown into a turmoil when her
husband runs off with Louis’s girlfriend. Fortunately, Louis is
there to help her through the ensuing crisis...
Film Review
Once again another well-known actor turns her hand to directing, and
once again you hear yourself wishing that she had stuck to the day
job. Isabelle Nanty makes a spirited directorial debut here but,
hampered by a banal and contrived plot, she has an uphill struggle
delivering anything that would attract an audience. Her co-star
Edouard Baer (otherwise a great actor) looks bored throughout and
mouths his lines with no real conviction, although Nanty’s own
performance is, as ever, beyond reproach. Le Bison clearly had some potential
and, in the hands of a more experienced director, might have
worked. For a directorial first shot, however, it is sadly
something of a misfire.
