Wide Load

2019 · 82 min

An odd, talky French comedy that drifts between absurdity and melancholy, asking you to puzzle over two men and a script.

Directed by
Bertrand Blier
Genres
Comedy
Starring
Gérard Depardieu, Christian Clavier, Audrey Dana
Overview
This is the story of a guy who goes too fast and a big guy who is too slow. Foster meets Taupin. All this would be trivial if one of them had a scary scenario, the scenario of their lives and their deaths. Just open the pages and shake.
