- Gerard Depardieu shows off his vocal skills as a lonely dance hall singer in a new French film that paints a nostalgic picture of a profession threatened by DJs and karaoke bars. In "The Singer," aging entertainer Alain Moreau (Depardieu) wins the hearts of pensioners and middle-aged ladies with heart-rending songs he performs at village discos, homes for the elderly and the local frog festival. Moreau sings lines such as "I would do all for a flirt with you" and "Live your life to the fullest!" -- then goes home to his empty house, where a juke box, a goat and a self-tanning machine are his only companions.
- I wonder if he can take the goat to the frog festival.
- And don't miss the picture of Depardieu, who's looking better than ever - remarkably fat and unkempt, even by his own admittedly lax standards. Hell, he looks fat and unkempt even by Harry Knowles's standards! This guy could play Jabba the Hutt without make-up!
