FEATURE FILMS
CUISINE ET DÉPENDANCES (1992)
I had been to see the play at the Théâtre la Bruyère early in its run. A few months later, I had a call from Marc Goldstaub, assistant to Alain Poiré, one of the top producers with Gaumont whom I had met and to whom I had shown a few of my "industrial" films. "We're going to produce a film of the play, there's no screenplay yet but the shoot will last no longer than six weeks, in the studio. Are you interested?" A few days later, I met the writers, Agnès Jaoui and Jean-Pierre Bacri
SYNOPSIS
Jacques and Martine, an ordinary middle-class couple, have invited over an old friend whom they haven't seen for ten years and who has since become a famous TV show host. He arrives with his wife Charlotte who turns out to be one of Georges' exes Georges who has been sleeping on Jacques and Martine's couch for several months now. Just to complicate things, Fred a mutual friend and a poker addict, has decided to stake the money that he doesn't have against the famous guest. Jacques and Martine lose all control of the evening.
