The innovative, bitter and irreverent French humor!

The innovative freshness and powerful creativity of Francis Weber at the moment to choose original scripts is something that nobody can discuss. He was born with that clinical eye to pay special attention around the multiple connections between ingenuity, trickery, cheats seen under new perspectives.

In a globalized world, as you and me figure out, Weber has found and developed his personal contribution enriching, enhancing and expanding the universe of the humor in its countless possibilities of expression.

Dinner game is in this sense, not only a daredevil proposal around those minor sins and hence he has achieved to show those evident smart and effective monkey business in the great tradition of the great literary tradition of classic and irreverent writers, of caustic nature such as Beaumarchais, Moliere or Voltaire.

Don' t miss this provocative, imaginative and funny film. One of the best of the nineties, if not the best.

"OUI" enjoyed this delightful French fare!

My husband and I recently ordered this French farce from the AMAZON menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Although the DVD's length is barely 90 minutes, the film's plot is fully-developed and well-paced. If you want a good laugh, you will discover "The Dinner Game" to be a tasty treat! If you still hunger for another helping of French comedy cuisine after sampling "The Dinner Game", try "The Closet". "The Closet" is another amusing entree featuring many of the same actors as "The Dinner Game".

The Dinner Game (Le Diner de Cons)

This is by far the funniest French movie ever released (at least in my humble opinion). This comedic masterpiece is the result of an extremely well written script where the comedy arises from the different situations and the sequence of events rather than from slapstick or clowning comedy that produces an instantaneous laughter gratification that is forgotten afterwards.

The movie was meant to be watched and understood in its original language to truly be enjoyed. Although the movie has English subtitles, you will not like it as much if you do not understand French well.

Warning!

Amazon lists the language for this as English, and I ordered one from a reputable Amazon seller. It was in FRENCH, with English subtitles!

If anyone can find a version that is actually in English (even dubbed would be fine) I would love to know about it. It is one of the funniest movies ever, but my folks can't read subtitles (too small) so this version was useless to us.

Humour French style.

This is a delightful comedy. If you are not accustomed to the French humour this would be a good introduction. You should note that there are subtitles but if you understand French you will enjoy this even more. It is a tale that the fool fools the wise ones. Enjoy it.
