Details: Amazon.ca François Pignon, an accountant in a large company, recently divorced, is about to be made redundant. He decides to put an end to his life when he accidentally meets his rescuer next door neighbor, who advises him on a strategy to regain his place in society... The immense success of the Dîner de cons consecrated Francis Veber as the king French humor. Becoming more serious with this Placard, because it deals with a more difficult subject, less prone to derision, it once again demonstrates its ability to make people laugh thanks to a relevant staging and a brilliant cast: Daniel Auteuil, touching of sensitivity and naivety, assisted by a Gérard Depardieu visibly very comfortable in his role as a racist redneck whose carcass is cracking, Thierry Lhermitte, Michèle Laroque and Jean Rochefort, among others. Without falling into caricature, Jacques Veber deals with homosexuality with humour, and once again gives us a quality show, of the same stamp as those to which he has accustomed us for a long time. --David Rault From the Studio Fire a homosexual is politically incorrect. François PIGNON knows this, and decides to play this card to save his place. The look of others on him will change, and his life will be turned upside down!
