Le Furet

I have read the crime novel from which this amusing crime comedy flick is adapted. The novelist is named Lou Cameron and it tells the story of a petty law abiding citizen who dreams to belong to the New-York mafia by killing mobsters, rivals of the local NYC king pin. An unusual story, from which the adaptation is not too far, except the Mocky's touch, the famous and eternal Mocky's atmosphere, trademark. Voluntarly lousy, distorted, caricatured.... He hires has been actors whom no one had heard about since decades, journalists, stage burlesque comedians, singers, journalists... Mocky will remain Mocky forever. It is not really a comedy, a pure comedy, just a crime story with weird, unlikely elements. If you liked the novel, you should like the film too. Many action scenes and climax take place iin the Parisian subway. Interesting.
