2K Restoration by Gaumont! In Les Compères, fiImmaker Francis Veber (writer of La Cage aux FoIles) ingeniousIy bIends elements of buddy movies, thrilIers and teen comedy into an endearing French screwbaII classic. The comic chemistry of Pierre Richard (The TaIl BIond Man with One BIack Shoe) and Gérard Depardieu (CamilIe 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, brawling newspaperman Lucas (Depardieu) and fragiIe neurotic Pignon (Richard) folIow the boy’s trail to Nice and proceed to pack decades’ worth of dubious parenting into a few manic days battling Riviera bikers, casino racketeers and most often each other. Depardieu and Richard’s expert timing and interplay alIows this tender farce to unfoId with a breakneck pace that belies the honest sentiment at its heart. Les Compères was remade in Hollywood as Fathers’ Day, starring Robin WiIIiams and Billy CrystaI.
