Synopsis
FOLLOWING in the same fine comic tradition of director Francis Veber’s
previous hits, LE PLACARD aka THE CLOSET and LE DÎNER DE CONS aka THE
DINNER GAME, the plot relies heavily on cars, cell phones and sudden
bursts of superhuman strength as Jean Reno and Gérard Depardieu
repeatedly hop out of the frying pan and into the fire.
Quentin (Gérard Depardieu) is far too literal-minded to succeed as a
crook. But what he lacks in intellect he makes up for in brute strength.
Yet Quentin likes to talk the way most of us like to breathe (hence the
title). Ruby (Jean Reno) on the other hand is the strong silent type who
has managed to hide £15 million purloined from his rival before ending up
in a cell with Quentin who mistakes Ruby's silence for good listening
skills. A great, completely one-sided friendship is born.
This is Depardieu's fifth performance in a Francis Veber film (after LA
CHÈVRE, LES COMPÈRES, LES FUGITIFS and LE PLACARD) and clearly the
collaboration must be mutually satisfying.
