Monsieur Naphtali
1999 Comedy
Review
Awful. Although the central premise of the film (a satire on the gullability of
the middle classes) has some mileage, it is so badly realised that it fails at just about
every level. The overly exaggerated characters are so unconvincing and badly portrayed
that you can’t help wondering why the screenwriter and actors ever bothered giving up
their day jobs. Shallow, pretentious and totally lacking in charm and narrative
coherence, Monsieur Naphtali is an unbearably bad film.
