Hilarious piece which makes fun of the Pawliss and small-time drugdealers
here Isabelle Huppert pushing 70 plays a much younger widow translator who sees a chance to make a run with a huge bag of cash using her ability to speak Arabic and massive inside info from the drug squad
The Chinese landlady Jade Nadja Nguyen is almost as much of a hoot here too with her old-country ways in the heart of Paris .... hilarious in every scene
it is very nicely-paced never tedious and comedic in so many ways and on so many levels. Reading some of the other comments a lack of understanding of the society they are looking at led to some strange reactions; this is Paris and the people who live there doing their kind of dance
For comedy buffs and Paris watchers a gem.
