Adieu les cons, his comedy about the seven Caesars, which will be broadcast this Sunday evening on France 2, Albert Dupont Pays homage to Brazil, Terry Gilliam’s SF classic that hit theaters in 1985. Terry Gilliam, who also makes a cameo in the film.
“Brazil was the founder of my profession in cinema”Albert Dupont says. “I saw all my dreams and nightmares there at the time. Terry’s dark and funny predictions about the world to come seemed incredibly accurate at the time and corresponded to a very strong feeling.”
“I pay him modest homage in Adieu les idiots by telling the same Kafkaesque deviations from today’s world and adding a few winks, hence naming the characters Kurtzman, Tuttle, Lint (Brazilians will understand)”, continues Dupontel. “Terry himself came to confirm this Brazilian replacement. When I read the script to him and offered him a small role as an arms dealer, he said: “Your film is as incredible as reality, I’m coming.”
It is worth noting that with Adieu les cons, Terry Gilliam plays for the third time in front of Dupontel’s camera! The American has indeed already appeared briefly in the credits of Locked Out and 9 Months Firm. Finally, note that Terry Jones, another Monty Python, starred for the French filmmaker in The Creator (where he played God) and Locked out, where he found his “Pythonic” friend Gilliam.
