| The enormous french success Bienvenue chez les ch'tis is gona be played in the dutch cinema. The premiere is tonight  http://www.pathe.nl/filminfo.asp?film_id=5544It was not sure that they would play it cause the translation might be very difficult. A lot of jokes are based on languages and accent (I think) - Quote :
- Although living a comfortable life in Salon-de-Provence, a charming town in the South of France, Julie has been feeling depressed for a while. To please her, Philippe Abrams, a post office administrator, her husband, tries to obtain a transfer to a seaside town, on the French Riviera, at any cost. The trouble is that he is caught red-handed while trying to scam an inspector. Philippe is immediately banished to the distant unheard of town of Bergues, in the Far North of France. Leaving his child and wife behind, the crucified man leaves for his frightening destination, a dreadfully cold place inhabited by hard-drinking, unemployed rednecks, speaking an incomprehensible dialect called Ch'ti. Philippe soon realizes that all these ideas were nothing but prejudices and that Bergues is not synonymous with hell...
The movie is basically a comedy about the difference of culture between the north and the south of France (which are sooo different it is like living in another country lol) but kind of a universal cultural message or something I haven't seen it yet but it is really popular in France - Quote :
- With 25.5 million euros, it holds the record for the highest first-week intake of a French movie in its home country
