Old-style France on show in Bon Voyage

Bon Voyage

Director: Jean-Paul Rappeneau

Cast: Gerard Depardieu, Isabelle Adjani, Peter Coyote

Cert: 12.

The Germans are coming, so a group of people escape from Paris and hide out in a Bordeaux hotel. A very mixed group they are, too.

This almost old-fashioned film is one of those happy delights we so rarely come across, a wonderful mixture of high drama, comedy and farce, with a lovely performance from the delicious Adjani, playing an actress with an alarmingly disruptive effect on those around her.

It's a fluffy but charmingly entertaining piece.

Star Rating: 4/5
