Overview

It is 1943 in Paris. Like so many others, the Bourbelle family's home has been taken over by the Germans and they now live in their cellar. Little do they know that the son, Guy-Hubert Bourdelle, is far from being the cowardly hairdresser he pretends. He is in truth the Germans’ most feared opponent: le super-résistant!

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A boisterous wartime farce that mines broad comedy from the gap between appearances and reality, celebrating the scrappy absurdity of French resistance life under Nazi occupation. Think Mel Brooks' approach to WWII but filtered through a specifically French sensibility of theatrical mischief and romantic entanglement.
