Apres Vous ( After You...) 2003 * * * *


A Tasty comedy with a twist.
Daniel Auteil is becoming a staple actor in my various viewings of French films. He is extremely versatile and I find his comic efforts perfect.
One night, on the way to his girlfriend's house, Antoine comes across a suicidal man named Louis on the brink of hanging himself from a tree. After saving his life he allows Louis to stay with him and finds him a job as a wine taster in his smart Parisian restaurant. Believing he can help Louis he tries to track down the reason for his near-suicide attempt, his ex-girlfriend Blanche, with hilarious and heart-warming results.
All round good fun and a typical gentle comedy that only the French can do so well.
