SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
Like Claude Zidi’s comedy, it turns social status and everyday pretension into brisk, escalating farce, with a sharp comic duel between confident schemers and the people they underestimate.
02
Why this pick
Its exuberant French comic sensibility, rapid-fire gags, and affectionate mockery of bureaucracy and big business echo the broad, meticulously constructed satire of The Wing or the Thigh.
03
Why this pick
A buoyant, old-school French farce in which an ordinary man is swept into absurd institutional games; it shares Zidi’s light pace and pleasure in puncturing self-important authority.
04
Why this pick
This 1976 satire similarly pits a decent, unglamorous protagonist against the whims of wealth and corporate power, balancing broad comic situations with a warm, humane undercurrent.
05
Why this pick
The odd-couple friction between Pierre Richard’s calamity magnet and Gérard Depardieu gives this the same accessible, escalating comic machinery and character-based slapstick appeal.
