Comédie inspirée de faits réels. C’est drôle, caustique, remarquablement interprété. Les décors et costumes sont incroyables. Mention particulière aux deux stars, laurent Laffitte artiste bouffon vulgaire à souhait et Isabelle Huppert en femme richissime qui se voit revivre au contact de la folie créative du pique-assiette photographe. La comédie de l’année et sans doute quelques Césars d’interprétation à la clef
