Paul M @RT20700100 Sep 2, 2025 Louis de Funes is the type of actor who can carry any film. His antics and mannerisms are easily recognizable and loved. "The Restaurant of Monsieur Septim" is included in the list of the best films with De Funes. And for good reason. All the ingredients of a great actor are collected here. Here is a simple plot, which will later be diluted with tricks no worse than in James Bond films. There are different types of humor here. This is dialogue, and buffoonery, and a comedy of situations. Monsieur Septim will be subjected to various tests, ranging from problems with the restaurant to a political conspiracy. But he will always find a way out of the situation. De Funes' characters are an example of how to always keep yourself in hand and not lose heart. I would like to separately note the tricks in this film. They are original and funny. There's a twist at the end, perhaps predictable, but in its genre it looks very fresh. If you like De Funes and somehow missed this movie, then you should definitely watch it! See more Dec 14, 2009 R.I.P Louis de Funès. He was one of the funniest dwarf I enjoyed on TV.

Un classique du cinéma francais See more Sep 5, 2008 Se laisse regarder, sans plus. Seule la premiere demi-heure est reellement interessante, le reste etant d'un ennui certain.
