Le jumeau (1984)
(The Twin)
Country: FR
Technical: Eastmancolor
Director: Yves Robert
Cast: Pierre Richard, Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Camilla More, Carey More
Synopsis:
A pulchritudinous set of American twins are simultaneously wooed by the star and his twin brother.
Review:
Above-average Pierre Richard comedy with the star doing what most comics are eventually tempted to do: play two parts. His mastery of the mechanics of comedic performance, including sparing deference to the fourth wall, is fully in evidence, though he does not really convince as a Casanova type. Director Robert in turn deploys the star well and contributes some laughs of his own making, even if the film suffers from that deliberateness and over-explicitness typical of French comedy.
