In 1990, director Jean-Marie Poiret was in the midst of a transition. In the box, he finds one of his school notebooks, in which he wrote a story when he was 17 years old. A story that frames visitors.
Based on this idea, Jean-Marie Poirier wrote an original script, to say the least, in collaboration with Christian Clavier: in 1123, after ingesting an evil magic potion, the knight Godfroi de Montmireil mistakenly kills the father of his betrothed Beatrice. Thanks to the bewitched Eusebius, he agrees to drink a potion that will allow him and his friend Jacquiel to travel back in time for a few minutes to change the course of events. Except the journey takes them… all the way back to 1992!
Producer Alain Terzian then advised Jean-Marie Poiret to reunite on screen the trio he had directed in Operation Cornmeal two years earlier: Jean Reno, Christian Clavier and Valérie Lemercier. In other words, the bet is a winner. If Christian Clavier created an iconic character thanks to the interpretation of Jacqueline La Rogue, Jean Reno and Valérie Lemercier – awarded for the best supporting role of a woman – Cesar – do not stand out, each in their role: the white clown and the haute bourgeois. .
released in 1993, Guests Attracting almost 14 million viewers (13,782,991 to be exact) in cinemas, it is the number one box office in France. Over time, this French comedy became a cult. Thirty years later, we still remember his lines, which became the common language of an entire generation: “okaaaaaa”, “Thank you la gueuze”or simply “Crazy !”
