...means being able to surround yourself with bright people. Also means making even mediocre people shine. Besson is not capable of either. You can blame his fiasco on many things, but it is simply him who is responsible for it all.Try finding a bad actor in any of of Bergman's work, DeSica's, Fellini's, Kubrick's. Besson was capable of producing one popular HT demo film, and that is perhaps the limit of his abilities. I agree on some humor part, but it wears off soon enough... Overall the movie belongs into the same pile as another husband/wife lame production - The Spanish Prisoner.
I do wonder, however, what would have happened had my wife suddenly decided to design a preamp...
Guess what, with your modest contribution he is now $2 more eager to make another one...
BTW, did they have to make a special body revealing armor for her?
