That's not the first time that Benoit Poelvoorde is so good in a dark character; remember C' EST ARRIVE PRES DE CHEZ VOUS, but the audience can't prevent to smile or even laugh in front of the performance, in such a character. This role was made for him. The subject of this film has never been treated before, as far as I now, the educational influence of a father on his son concerning war in Algeria. And what a father suffering of mythomania. This is not really a dark and depressing movie but not a comedy either. A good family study with, I repeat, a new light brought on the French Algeria war period, from an ordinary family point of view, and the behaviour of a father.
