Political correctness is shredded in an assault on contemporary ills so authentically tasteless it's inspirational. After a children's clothes factory closes, leaving its female staff jobless, hulking ex-con worker Louise (Yolande Moreau) suggests the workers pool their redundancy, recruit a hitman and kill the boss. Enter Michel, an inept security specialist who quietly subcontracts to his terminally ill sister and drags her out of hospital to perform the hit. She's going to die anyway. Nice, huh?
“Side-splittingly funny and constantly outrageous... Skewering rampant capitalism, eco-tourism, and a host of genres, this tale… is not only the duo's (Aaltra directors Benoît Delépine and Gustave Kervern) best work yet, but a wickedly hilarious, marvellously calibrated exercise in deadpan style owing as much to Buñuel as to the Coen brothers.” — Jay Weissberg, Variety
“A must-see comedy for the radically incorrect… spares no one from cross-sexuals to cancer patients.” — Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter
