My Best Friend
Daniel Auteuil stars in this superbly-written French comedy as a successful antiques dealer whose business partner one day points out to him that he doesn't actually have any friends - only colleagues and clients. To win a bet he promises to produce his true best friend by the end of the month. Or at least hire someone to pretend they're his best friend. The imminently watchable Auteuil is perfectly cast, and the witty script breezes along, reminding us of the importance of friends without having to bust out the hankies. Directed by Patrice Leconte ('Ridicule', 'The Hairdresser's Husband').
