Sinekatalog’s take
Otar Iosseliani's comedy shows a French minister who loses his post and discovers a freer life among friends and old Paris neighbourhoods. Séverin Blanchet and Michel Piccoli are delightful in a wry, gentle and quietly joyous film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
