My impressions:
I liked well this film because the actors are definitely in their role, theyplayed very well, the film is funny, they have fun practically at all times, because stages are funny, there are quiprocos, and they underlinea nice caricature of chtis, even if there are stages where the reality of chti is represented. In effect, the north is represented as hell, cold, it lmisfortune, and even the terreur. Impression which society is given is that th north is unbearable, and finally they see that one there plait definitely, people are very simples, a good ambiance reigns and it is not so cold as concealed. In the region of Nord-Pas-De-Calais, a lot party, what makes understand to us that there is a kind of exuberance, especially in the north. So it is a carricature which is very funny in this movie.
