Jamais deux sans trois ! Après les triomphes de La Chèvre et des Compères, le trio gagnant Depardieu-Richard-Veber remet le couvert. Apparemment, sans beaucoup d'originalité : retour des éternels Pignon et Lucas, quiproquos et courses-poursuites dus à la confrontation du fort en gueule et du gaffeur, etc. Mais le couple Depardieu-Richard fonctionne à plein, et n'a jamais été égalé depuis dans le cinéma comique made in France. Ensuite, en ajoutant à ce duo d'anthologie le personnage d'une petite fille, Francis Veber s'aventure avec succès sur le terrain de l'émotion, qu'il a su aisément mêler au registre de la comédie. Il faut noter par ailleurs le soin - assez rare dans ce type de films - porté à l'image (tourné en scope, par un des plus grands chefs opérateurs en activité, Luciano Tovoli). Enfin, en s'essayant à l'absurde, Francis Veber tutoie les sommets : pour preuve, la séquence historique dans laquelle Jean Carmet incarne un vétérinaire chargé de soigner la blessure de Depardieu, et de lui extraire la "baballe" malheureusement logée dans sa "papatte"... Bref, humour, action, émotion, cocktail idéal de ce qui reste à ce jour la meilleure comédie de l'auteur du Placard et du Dîner de cons. --Sylvain Lefort

The story of a fan, Claire Rocher (Karin Viard) who eventually becomes a Personal Assistant to her idol, Elizabeth Becker (Agnes Jaoui)is almost certain to evoke echoes of Mank's 'All About Eve' yet whilst the central situation is the same (if we read 'screen' for 'stage') there are significant differences inasmuch as Ann Baxter's Eve Harrington was, to all intents and purposes a waif, who haunted the Stage Door waiting for a glimpse of her idol, Margo Channing, whilst Karen Viard comes complete with a job, TV journalist at which she is certainly competent and a circle of friends, to whom, in due course, Jaoui is introduced. The name Becker is, of course, distinguished in French cinema via Jacques (Casque d'Or) and his son Jean (Les Enfants du Marais)and it may well be that helmer Favrant (screenwriter on Bord de Mer)and writer Julie de Courval chose their name for Jaoui's character deliberately. Ultimately the film is about the changing balance of relationships and the show biz background - complete with appearances by well-known domestic actors Edouard Baer, Jose Garcia and Anna Mouglalis as themselves - is largely irrelevant.

Angele is a young girl who lives in a French Alpine town with her father Leon (Patrick Chesnais), the local taxidermist. Shortly after Leon receives a slaughtered pack of wolves, young Angele notices an orphaned black cub descending from the mountains in search of his family. Angele may be young but she realizes what fate will befall the cub if he is caught, so she quietly releases him back into the wild. Years later, World War I has come and gone, and local foundry owners the Garcins have struck it rich. Albert Garcin (Michel Galabru) is not only the family patriarch, but Angele's godfather as well. A benevolent and generous soul, Albert has given a local gypsy and her developmentally disabled son Guiseppe (Stefano Accorsi) a lifetime lease on a modest mountain shack. Giuseppe guards the surviving wolves with his life, taking a special shine to the black pack leader he names Carbone. Angele is all grown up now, and longs to become a veterinarian who specializes in undomesticated animals. Though the local men scoff at the idea of a female veteran, Angele knows her connection with nature is true. In order to gain some experience Angele recruits circus owner Zhormov (Miglen Mirtchev) to fly her into the mountains that tower above her hometown. During the course of their journey, however, the plan crashes and Angele is forced to wait as Zhormov searches for help. But sometimes help a...The Maiden and the Wolves ( La jeune fille et les loups )
