Other Crap

Here's the trailer for Bon Voyage. Warnings: (1) contains Gerard Depardieu with slicked-down hair (2) contains Peter Coyote speaking French (3) is entirely in French without sub-titles. The official summary: "In June 1940, as politicians, journalists, society figures, demi-mondaines and spies from all sides all meet up at the Hotel Splendide in Bordeaux, a young man has to choose between a famous actress and an impassioned student, between politicians and hoodlums, between insouciance and adulthood." It appears to be a slapstick farce with some serious underlying points. The Pianist meets Police Squad. Hey, it's French, what can I say? If they had made Gilligan's Island, the show would have had just as much tripping and head-bopping, but also would have had horrifying dream sequences probing deep into Gilligan's psyche.
