Bonsoir (1994)
Country: FR
Technical: col 85m
Director: Jean-Pierre Mocky
Cast: Michel Serrault, Jean-Claude Dreyfus, Claude Jade, Marie-Christine Barrault, Lauren Grandt, Catherine Mouchet, Serge Riaboukine
Synopsis:
A man who has lost his wife and job wanders Paris in his pyjamas, disguised with detachable trouser bottoms and a tweed coat, gaining admittance to citizens' apartments by imposture. Meanwhile, a former colleague profits from his charming facility by burgling the homeowners in his wake.
Review:
Mocky's sprightly, Tatiesque comedy paints a jaundiced picture of the metropolis, with its disinterested bystanders and faceless architecture. Although on the brink of suicide (in the Seine, where else?), Serrault, Boudu-like, actually improves the lives of those he touches, but the fanciful premise and idiotic police are too far-fetched to make this any more than an extended TV sketch.
