This film is about a Parisian detective hunting for a certain influential mob leader in Corsica.
after watching the film, my impression is that a lot of stuff is lost in translation. The film gives me a happy and uplifting impression, along with the sunny and beautiful scenery of Corsica. The budget is good and the sets are beautifully done. Caterina Murino is so beautiful, she steals many of the scenes. As for the plot, sometimes it does not make sense. In one scene, Christian Clavier walks up a church tower, but the next scene he gets out of a police car. What happened there? I have the feeling that certain scenes are meant to be funny, but I fail to grasp it completely. An example is that Christian Clavier endures the choirs at 2 in the morning. It is a fun film to watch, but I think it would have been better if I understood French or their culture.
