Details: Amazon.ca François Pignon, an accountant at a large company, recently divorced, is about to be fired. He decides to end his life when he happens to meet his savior, a neighbor who lives down the hall and advises him on a strategy to find his place in society again... The immense success of The Dinner Game established Francis Veber as the king of French-style humor. Taking a more serious turn with The Closet, as it deals with a more difficult subject that is less prone to mockery, he demonstrates once again his ability to make people laugh through relevant direction and a brilliant cast: Daniel Auteuil, touching in his sensitivity and naivety, supported by a Gérard Depardieu who is visibly very comfortable in his role as a racist oaf whose facade is cracking, Thierry Lhermitte, Michèle Laroque, and Jean Rochefort, among others. Without falling into caricature, Francis Veber treats homosexuality with humor and delivers yet another quality production, in the same vein as those to which he has long accustomed us. --David Rault From the Studio Firing a homosexual is politically incorrect. François PIGNON knows this, and decides to play that card to save his job. The way others look at him will change, and his life will be turned upside down!
