Revelling in the opportunity to trample political correctness while also kicking such liberal themes as capitalism and ecology, this is a riotous road movie destined for cult status. Having hired a hitman to kill the boss who closed her Picardy textile factory, bruiser Yolande Moreau discovers she’s offed the wrong man and drags Bouli Lanners to Jersey to finish the job. The madcap action briefly threatens to derail during the surrealist digressions, providing choice cameos for Benoît Poelvoorde (as a demented conspiracy theorist) and Mathieu Kassovitz (a green-fixated innkeeper). Anarchic, subversive and furiously funny.
Louise-Michel Review
