Tout dépend des filles... (1980)
Directed by Pierre Fabre

Comedy
aka: It All Depends on Girls

Film Synopsis

Jean-Luc and his friend Mathieu lead a carefree existence in Montmartre.  One is a cabinet maker, the other a sculptor, but only nominally - their real objective seems to be to get through life by doing as little work as possible.  Both men are in their thirties and yet they still behave like irresponsible adolescents - carousing, chasing pretty girls and generally having a good time.  Then comes the day when they decide they would like to get married.  Jean-Luc has met a girl, Céline, who surpasses all others and would make the ideal wife.  He has had many girls in his life, but this one he intends to keep for himself.

As for Mathieu, he has been living with his girlfriend Anna for what seems like ages.  A school music teacher, Anna is his ideal soul mate, but whenever he plucks up the courage to ask her to marry him, his nerve always deserts him at the last moment.  Now he has decided he must wed Anna, or risk losing her to another man.  It so happens that Mathieu's father Lucien has also found himself his perfect playmate, Betty, so it looks as if a triple wedding is in the offing.  Jean-Luc, Mathieu and Lucien are in for a shock when, on the day of their wedding, their respective brides decide that they are not yet ready for marriage...

The very best of French film comedy
sb-img-7
Thanks to comedy giants such as Louis de Funès, Fernandel, Bourvil and Pierre Richard, French cinema abounds with comedy classics of the first rank.
The best of Russian cinema
sb-img-24
There's far more to Russian movies than the monumental works of Sergei Eisenstein - the wondrous films of Andrei Tarkovsky for one.
The best of Japanese cinema
sb-img-21
The cinema of Japan is noteworthy for its purity, subtlety and visual impact. The films of Ozu, Mizoguchi and Kurosawa are sublime masterpieces of film poetry.
The greatest French Films of all time
sb-img-4
With so many great films to choose from, it's nigh on impossible to compile a short-list of the best 15 French films of all time - but here's our feeble attempt to do just that.
The very best sci-fi movies
sb-img-19
Science-fiction came into its own in B-movies of the 1950s, but it remains a respected and popular genre, bursting into the mainstream in the late 1970s.
