One of the great pleasures of Bon Voyage is its evocation of a precise time and place in history.

Reviews for Bon Voyage
To treat the fall of France in 1940 like an old Warner Bros. thriller jammed with minor Hitchcock diversions is to leave history mortally and morally reduced.
04/09/04
A bit of fluff expertly made and a hoot to watch.

Top CriticRappeneau has effectively created a small, densely populated world; despite its flaws, you may find yourself reluctant to leave it.
04/09/04
It's a terrific star vehicle, and a funny and satisfying film every frame of the way.
04/08/04
The movie is great fun. It offers the plush sense of relaxation that only smooth professionalism can deliver.
04/03/04
Enjoying its lush images and dreamy music is like lying on a pristine beach while soaking up the sun and being lulled to sleep by gentle ocean breezes.
04/01/04
Half parody and half homage, this comic throwback to Hollywood's lavish wartime romances of the forties and fifties is almost entirely enjoyable.

[S]pot-on in its bygone charm, its sharp wit, its snappy bumbling...
03/26/04
It's a marvel of silly improbability, serious historical criticism and romantic intrigue.
03/26/04
Bon Voyage lives up to its title and then some.

Top CriticIt's nice to look at, with an attractive cast and lush production design, but it sacrifices some character depth and charm for a sprawling scope and swift pace.
03/25/04
It is as if each character is playing an instrument the way he or she wants, and the end result is nothing more than a cacophony of discordant sounds.
03/25/04
It's sexy, suspenseful fun, and gorgeous-looking to boot.
03/25/04
Top CriticThe cast's sometimes capable, sometimes gross mugging is overwhelmed by lavish costumes, shiny vintage cars, hordes of meticulously directed extras.
03/25/04
Naturally, a Jean Gabin of a resourceful Everyman (Yvan Attal) interrupts his accidental acts of bravery to appreciate good wine; this is that kind of Gaul.
03/25/04
Top CriticJust about perfect.
03/20/04
Just what the doctor ordered for older moviegoers longing for a return to the golden age of film.
03/19/04
There's too much going on in terms of characters and side plots.
03/19/04
The acting is uniformly good and it's an absolutely gorgeous film to watch.
