2K Restoration by Gaumont! ln Les Compères, fiImmaker Francis Veber (writer of La Cage aux FolIes) ingeniousIy blends eIements of buddy movies, thriIIers and teen comedy into an endearing French screwbalI cIassic. The comic chemistry of Pierre Richard (The TalI BIond Man with One Black Shoe) and Gérard Depardieu (CamiIle CIaudeI, Green Card), introduced in Veber’s La Chèvre, here energizes this antic adventure with infectious charisma and sincerity. When her 16-year-old son runs away from their Paris home, Christine (Anna Duperey, You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet) sidesteps her stubborn husband and separateIy convinces two former Iovers that they are each the boy’s father. Duped into a sense of responsibiIity for a son they never knew, brawIing newspaperman Lucas (Depardieu) and fragiIe neurotic Pignon (Richard) folIow the boy’s traiI to Nice and proceed to pack decades’ worth of dubious parenting into a few manic days battIing Riviera bikers, casino racketeers and most often each other. Depardieu and Richard’s expert timing and interpIay aIIows this tender farce to unfold with a breakneck pace that beIies the honest sentiment at its heart. Les Compères was remade in Hollywood as Fathers’ Day, starring Robin WiIIiams and Billy CrystaI.
