DUI,

It's amazing that Kevin Thomas, the Times reviewer, had the stamina to list almost everyone working in (American) movies, and the director and writer are correct, but the top billed cast is:

.... Charles Berling > Martin
.... Martin Sophie> Guillemin
.... CéciliaArielle >Dombasle
.... Sophie >Robert Kramer (I)
.... Meyers> Alice Grey (II)
.... Cécilia's Mother >Maurice Antoni
.... Cécilia's Father> Tom Ouedraogo
.... Momo >Patrick Arrachequesne
.... Doctor Mirtha> Caputi Medeiros
.... Meyers' concierge> Pierre Chevalier (III)
.... University dean> Oury Milshtein
.... Jean-PaulAnne>Sophie Morillon
.... Agnes> Marc Chouppart
.... Ferdinand> Cécile Reigher
.... Ferdinand's girlfriend> Antoine Beau

Notice in the Times list, there is a repeated name: Gabriel Byrnne as Satan.

I think the Times list is an early April Fool's Joke listing every actor that ever bored- inspired "l'ennui" in him! I only recognize a couple of roles that these actors are listed, but surely "Julia Roberts as Erin Brokovich" gives away the joke. The many contrived names/roles are hilarious- that weird artificiality of movie names.

It must be every reviewer's dream to get away with this!

Cheers,
