Tout dépend des filles... (1980)
Directed by Pierre Fabre

Comedy
aka: It All Depends on Girls

Film Synopsis

Jean-Luc and his friend Mathieu lead a carefree existence in Montmartre.  One is a cabinet maker, the other a sculptor, but only nominally - their real objective seems to be to get through life by doing as little work as possible.  Both men are in their thirties and yet they still behave like irresponsible adolescents - carousing, chasing pretty girls and generally having a good time.  Then comes the day when they decide they would like to get married.  Jean-Luc has met a girl, Céline, who surpasses all others and would make the ideal wife.  He has had many girls in his life, but this one he intends to keep for himself.

As for Mathieu, he has been living with his girlfriend Anna for what seems like ages.  A school music teacher, Anna is his ideal soul mate, but whenever he plucks up the courage to ask her to marry him, his nerve always deserts him at the last moment.  Now he has decided he must wed Anna, or risk losing her to another man.  It so happens that Mathieu's father Lucien has also found himself his perfect playmate, Betty, so it looks as if a triple wedding is in the offing.  Jean-Luc, Mathieu and Lucien are in for a shock when, on the day of their wedding, their respective brides decide that they are not yet ready for marriage...

The greatest French Films of all time

With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
The brighter side of Franz Kafka
sb-img-1
In his letters to his friends and family, Franz Kafka gives us a rich self-portrait that is surprisingly upbeat, nor the angst-ridden soul we might expect.
The best of British film comedies
sb-img-15
British cinema excels in comedy, from the genius of Will Hay to the camp lunacy of the Carry Ons.
The history of French cinema
