Event
Ouvert la nuit
North American Premiere
Luigi has one night to save his theater. One night in which to find a monkey capable of treading the boards and recovering the esteem of his Japanese director; one night in which to regain the trust of his team and the respect of his best female friend - who is also his closest collaborator... and in which to show the young intern from the elite Sciences Po business school, so convinced by her own ideas, that there are other ways in life of coping with obstacles.
It's a wacky scenario that in the hands of many a Gallic performer would fall flat on its face, but Baer () has a warm, underhanded way of delivering his lines that's a pure antidote to the shouting and slapstick of most French comics. Likewise, his cast and that includes the chimpanzee never overdoes it, with strong supporting turns from Christophe Meynet (as a man in a monkey costume), Jean-Michel Lami (as a monkey trainer) and Gregory Gadebois (as a stage manager who refuses to be duped by his boss). (Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter)
