The Dinner Game
Laughter is the main course in this acclaimed Gallic farce. Snide publisher Thierry Lhermitte delights in attending dinner parties where he and his society friends must bring "idiots" - unsuspecting average people with quirky or obsessive interests - for everyone's amusement. Lhermitte thinks he's found a gem in taxman/matchstick sculptor Jacques Villeret, but a bad back leaves him trapped in his apartment and at the "idiot's" mercy. With Daniel Prevost and Alexandra Vandernoot.
