Un fil à la patte

I have played Feydeau on stage and he's a great playwright of his kind. However, something in this film is not working. Although the play is great (the adaptation maybe went too far away from it), and Charles Berling a great actor (one of my favourite ones), "un fil à la patte" is really bad. I was really disappointed by the lack of subtlety in the dialogues, feydeau's humour seems to have been swept away, and sexuality is certainly not described in a subtle and humorous way, but more in a voyeuristic manner, which i don't criticize here, but it's just so not feydeau! you leave the cinema with the feeling of a failure, something that could have been so funny and clever, but is just disappointingly bad.
