French writing and directing team, Benoît Delépine and Gustave de Kervern made this uneven blend of comedy and drama. A retired worker is forced to revisit his previous jobs in order to obtain proof for his retirement benefits; on the road he meets several characters from his past and some new one. The script and tone of the film all over the place from the bleak to the whimsical. Gérard Depardieu and Yolande Moreau star with solid performances while Isabelle Adjani and Benoît Poelvoorde provide support in cameo roles. The film proves that a great cast doesn't make a great film. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
