A vaudeville with the sweet scent of the New Wave
AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON BLU-RAY
" A MILITARY FUNNY MIXED WITH NEW WAVE […] WHICH IS A PLEASURE TO DISCOVER. "
THE INROCKUPTIBLES
Jean Lerat de la Grignotière, a young, idle and carefree aristocrat, is forced to do his military service. Incorporated into a regiment, Jean stands out with his good manners and his fanciful lightness. With the help of Joseph Vidauban, his aunt's chauffeur, enlisted alongside him, Jean tries by all means to get away from his obligations, creating a series of situations that are alternately comical and burlesque...
Co-writer of Baisers volés and Domicile conjugal , Claude de Givray signs with Tire-au-flanc 62 his first directorial effort, teaming up behind the camera with François Truffaut. Combining lively dialogues and lively editing, the duo delivers a subtle critique of the absurdity of institutions, while illustrating the rebellious and ingenious spirit of young conscripts. A scathing and hard-hitting satire where we meet Cabu, Bernadette Lafont and Pierre Étaix, Tire-au-flanc 62 is to be discovered for the first time on Blu-ray™ in its splendid 4K restoration!
