Every day, AlloCiné recommends watching a movie (again) on TV. Tonight: Bebel fakes her disappearance…
A prolific director, Claude Lelouch has photographed the biggest stars of French cinema, from Catherine Deneuve to Lino Ventura, including Yves Montagne and Michel Morgan. In 1988, he offered another Holy Monster: Jean-Paul Belmondo the lead role in The Spoiled Child Route.
Also a film producer, the latter portrays Sam Lyon, a man raised in the middle of the circus, turned against his will into a business manager, who decides to disappear into Africa in his fifties. From every frame, the actor explodes the screen and gives his character the enthusiasm it deserves. We especially remember her masterful face-to-face scene with Richard Anconina, whom she teaches a real life lesson on how to say “hello”!
Alternately withdrawn and moved, his performance won him a César for Best Actor (even though he made it clear in his nomination that he wasn’t interested in the prize). when it hits theaters The spoiled child route met with commercial success (3.2 million admissions), which breathed new life into Belmondo’s career, which at the time was losing momentum. On AlloCiné, the film has an average audience rating of 3.7 out of 5.
