Flutterby™! : Le Placard

Went to see Le Placard (aka The Closet) last night. The first foreign film I would have liked to have dubbed rather than subtitled, because much of the acting was subtle. You've all heard the summary: Monsieur Pignon, a boring accountant, gets fired from his job at a condom maker, his new neighbor sees his predicament, doctors up a photo of him, bare-assed, in chaps, getting groped, and sends it to his employers, who promptly re-hire him because the negative publicity from firing a gay man would ruin them. Hilarity ensues as everyone around Pignon perceives him in a new way while he hasn't changed. I don't know if it was the subtitles or if the film wasn't long enough, I felt that some of the character development didn't go far enough, but there were a bunch of fun gags and a cool story about a man coming into his own.
