Inspired by the Indian chieftain Raoni Metukthiri, who came to France to raise public awareness of his people, Francis Weber wrote Jaguar’s screenplay.
He imagines the misunderstanding between Vanu, an Indian executive from the Amazon, who has arrived in Paris accompanied by his interpreter Jean Campana, and Francois Perrin, a poker player, burdened with debt. Although Vanu asks her to go to the Amazon to cure her disease, the latter sees it primarily as a perfect opportunity to escape from her creditors…
Jaguar is thus considered a remake of The Goat, as it once again stars two of the director’s favorite characters: Jean Campana and Francois Perrin.
These interpretations are no longer explained by Gerard Depardieu and Pierre Richard, but by Jean Reno and Patrick Bruel. The two make a comical tandem in this comedic adventure with a fantastic twist.
Enjoying a comfortable budget, Francis Weber, who considers himself first and foremost a screenwriter, is the main director. He takes care of his photography, skillfully uses the spectacular dimension of the decor and relies on the composition of the master Vladimir Kosma. Released in 1996 Jaguar It can boast of having attracted 2.4 million spectators to the premises.
