In Casteljaloux, a town in southwestern France, friendship, drunken nights, heat and tall tales set the pace of daily life. And here, men are Kings of the World. But when Jeannot gets out of prison, he has only one thing in mind: to win back Chantal, the love of his life, who moved in with the village butcher while he was serving time. A Greek tragedy that soon takes on the feel of a Western…

Excellent, a Must See
n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.
It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.
Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.
Terrific story for terrific performances, even for a topic already told a thousand times before. This is a pure tragedy with a Sergi Lopez at his peak, who plays an ex con who was sent to jail for having almost killed a man. Only because he is madly in love with the always outstanding Celine Salette. She is the girl friend of the awesome Eric Cantona who is here as he man as ever, even more than ever. Everything is placed here to permit the tragedy to explode. But I don't get why the screen play emphasizes here on the subplot between the two stage students. In summary, it's a rural tragedy that could have been shown on a french channel in the evening program. But in a very efficient way.
