Bon Voyage (2003) DVD, in French with English subtitles. It's 1940, and a beautiful actress gets in a bind when she kills the sex maniac who is stalking her. She's a user of men, and she recruits a faithful friend to help her cover up the killing.
France is about to be invaded by Germany, and this film is a strange brew of comedy and tragedy as madcap adventures are set against the ominous advent of the Nazis in Paris and throughout France.
The lead actors will not be familiar to most American viewers (with the exception of Peter Coyote, who apparently speaks French and German), but they are appealing and the leading man will remind many of a French Noah Wyle.
It's a bit of a mixed bag, but I liked it. Grade: B
