Cast edit

Controversy edit

The posters for the film on which Jean Dujardin and Gilles Lellouche can be seen in suggestive positions (like gripping a pair of naked female legs) attracted accusations of sexism.[1][5] The French professional authority of regulation for advertising received four official complaints accusing the posters of sexism. Following this controversy, the posters were taken down, and the distributor apologized.[6]

Jean Dujardin refers to I mostri by Dino Risi.

The original cut of the film included a scene where a man talks to a woman while a plane crashes into the World Trade Center. Reportedly, this scene has been censored to have better chances to get an Academy Award for Jean Dujardin (who went on to win the Best Actor award for his leading role in The Artist).[7]

Remake edit

An Italian remake of the same name was released in 2020.

Notes edit

  1. ^ Jan Kounen's segment "Ultimate Fucking" was cut from the theatrical release of the film; it is available in the extended version on home video.[2]
