This movie is, by far, one of the most intelligent flicks I've seen in
my life. Funny, ironic, twisted and never-ever predictable, it has
absolutely nothing to do with the gibberish Hollywood piles on
nowadays. I cannot understand why this movie hasn't had a bigger
success. And please, don't judge this movie by its cover: the one we
have here in Montreal isn't the best marketing tool... it depicts a
very large hand, coming out of a cloud, flipping the bird to a few
people in a field, far below.... Whose bad idea was that?... Anyway.
Great movie, great actors, fantastic story line. Go rent it. Better
yet: buy it. It's that good. People should learn French just to enjoy
this movie. Cheers!

Is this movie available on DVD? I'd love to watch it again but can't
find it on neither DVD nor VHS. I would even settle for French with no
subtitles :) I think I'll learn French, just to see this movie :)
PS 1 Comment about the IMDb comments validation. Could not submit this
comment with the French title! The page said "Spelling Error, please
correct". Funny ha!?
PS 2 I am writing these two PS's so that I can submit the comment! The
second error I am getting is saying that my comment isn't too long!
Must be minimum 10 line of text!!?! What is this? Can't I be terse,
laconic, brief, concise, succinct, straight to the point without having
to write this unrelated garbage?

I hate French films because they all just stand around and talk about
philosophy, but here's a film in which people try to apply existentialism to
day to day life and realize that, if no one really exists, it's okay to run
people down with your car. Amazingly funny black comedy is bizarre and
brilliant
