Demandez la Permission aux Enfants!

Well, on a recent visit to France, I noticed this movie was going to start on 4 April. I have some reservations about any real quality, but it does have some attractive lead roles.  Anyone know more?


Here's a link I found to the trailers:

Thank's for the alert. The boys in the movie look interesting but the trailers, extracts and most of the images didn't show much of them. The squabbling sisters get the most attention, so it difficult to tell if it's a movie worth profiling on our database.

If any of you Europeans get a look-see please let us know how much screen time the boys get.

Who?      Tongue


Now this isn't right.... considering that the Swede is a European.... at least for awhile! 

But you're absolutely right, Cal, having viewed two trailers and several images.... it appears that the trio of youngsters are used in a more limited capacity during this picture.

Maybe it's worth checking out, if there is time before the festival comes around.

Unfortunately non English European 'family comedies' rarely get released in non European markets. Most of the non English films released in English markets are more 'serious' in nature. Comedy doesn't seem to translate well from one language to another unless it's a very visual style comedy. Which is our great loss.

They often get released here in Quebec. But I never go see them.

Interesting point, Joseph.... it makes sense that the majority of French films would find a cinematic release in a French speaking provence such as Quebec.

As for humor, there is definitely a difference in films among various cultures.  We have a more timid sense of humor than we often see from the western world.

But it is different around Europe as well.

In all fairness, it's probably not "the majority of French films" that get released here. But we definitely get more than in the rest of Canada or the English-speaking countries. And we tend to get things like comedies and family films that would never find a market in the US. (In addition to the drama and whatnot, of course.)

Humor is something that tends to be fairly culture-specific. Even the diffeerence between American and British humour is striking. Likewise, the difference between Québécois and French humour is huge. Whereas if  you compare other genres, like horror or action or even drama, the differences are probably not so great.
