Description
Pierre Martin, docteur en physique quantique, quitte Paris avec sa fille Catherine, journaliste de mode, afin d'aller s'installer dans l'auberge qu'il a héritée de sa tante, située à Sainte-Simone-du-Nord au Saguenay. L'arrivée de ces deux Français contrarie le maire, Michel Dolbec, convaincu que l'auberge, jadis propriété de sa famille, devrait lui revenir de droit. C'est ainsi qu'il persuade ses concitoyens de l'aider à chasser Pierre et Catherine, par tous les moyens possibles. Seul Mario, homme à tout faire autrefois au service de la défunte, refuse de participer au complot, d'autant plus qu'il se sent attiré par la revêche Catherine. Or, si celle-ci, devant tant de brimades, semble sur le point de craquer, son père persiste à afficher un optimisme indécrottable, au grand dam du retors Dolbec.

Considered one of the greatest films ever made, The Rules of the Game (La règle du jeu), by Jean Renoir, is a scathing critique of corrupt French society cloaked in a comedy of manners in which a weekend at a marquis’ country château lays bare some ugly truths about a group of haut bourgeois acquaintances. The film has had a tumultuous history: it was subjected to cuts after the violent response of the premiere audience in 1939, and the original negative was destroyed during World War II; it wasn’t reconstructed until 1959.
Résumons-nous. Blanche-Neige a été ressuscitée d'un smack par le Prince Charmant. Sur ce, ils se marièrent, furent heureux et eurent beaucoup d'enfants. Fin de l'histoire. Ce qui est, admettons-le, un peu hâtif. Reprenons. Ils se marient. Et puis après ? Après, une pseudo Bonne Fée plus très fraîche rapplique dare-dare dans le paysage. Elle en pince sévère pour le Prince, c'est rien de le dire. Elle le veut, elle l'aura, morbleu. Un revers de baguette magique et voilà qu'apparaît la Belle au Bois Dormant. Dormant donc. Le Prince Charmant, obligeant, la réveille d'un baiser. Funeste erreur. Dès lors, rien ne va plus : la chasse à la Blanche Neige est déclarée ouverte, Cendrillon déboule au débotté, les Sept Nains s'énervent tout vert et un ogre gravement sous-alimenté met les orteils dans le plat.
