La vie est un long fleuve tranquille (1988)
(Life Is a Long Quiet River)
Country: FR
Technical: col 91m
Director: Etienne Chatiliez
Cast: Benoît Magimel, Valerie Lalande, Hélène Vincent
Synopsis:
Babies switched at birth are informed of the mischief years later when they have reached adolescence. Their restoration to their correct surroundings has notable socio-economic implications.
Review:
Chatiliez's pseudo-Shakespearean comedy is a cheeky autopsy on France's body politic. A film whose importance would resonate over the coming decades, as the integration of immigrant communities became not just a social but a security issue.
