After The Hunt, already with Didier Bourdon and Julien Pestel, another French comedy is currently enjoying great success. It is Kokoriko who for the first time unites the tandem Christian Klavier in the cinema – Didier Bourdon. In one week, the Julien Hervé-directed comedy has already attracted almost 600,000 viewers. The film is at the top of the best starts of 2024.
Reflex for going back and having fun in theaters
Is it enough to give the team ideas on what to do next? “This strong start comes in a context that ultimately benefits French comedies. Although many passed last year, the good results recorded around Christmas in “Les Segpa au ski” and especially in “Chasse gardee” restored the morale of the soldiers. And the public’s reflex to return to the theaters for entertainment“, explains Le Parisien in its columns this morning.
“When in doubt, make it open ended”
Admittedly, the final scene of Cocorico suggests that anything is possible with a sequel. The ending is completely open-ended and even ends on a cliffhanger of sorts, as one would say for the series. “When I wrote the second version of the script, Christian Clavier gave me this advice: when in doubt, do an open ending, he’s a pro!– Director and screenwriter Julien Hervé explained to Le Parisien.It’s not for me to decide, primarily for the community, but we’ve left it open.”
“Cult”, “Wonder”: rating 4.1 out of 5, this is the best comedy with Christian Clavier
However, according to Le Parisien, the first part of the film could also produce a theatrical adaptation in the form of a closed session. This part is really reminiscent of a plot like The First Name, with increasing suspense and lots of humor.
what is kokoriko
A comedy like What We Did to the Good Lord? (which had two sequels), this film fully plays on contrasts and opposite social origins. We follow Alice (Chloe Couloux) and Francois (Julien Pestel) who, on the verge of marriage, decide to unite their two families. For this occasion, they have an original gift for parents: DNA tests so that everyone can discover the origin of their ancestors. But the surprise turns into a fiasco when the large aristocratic family the Bouvier-Sauvages and the much more humble Martins discover the results are, to say the least… unexpected! Cocorico is currently in theaters.
