Synopsis

A random act of kindness snowballs into vivid proof that “no good deed goes unpunished” in APRES VOUS, the irresistible French comedy that garnered actor Daniel Auteuil (GIRL ON THE BRIDGE, JEAN DE FLORETTE) a Cesar Award nomination for Best Actor. Antoine (Auteuil), a restaurant headwaiter; takes a shortcut through a park one night and spots Louis (Jose Garcia), a despondent, lovelorn stranger, attempting to kill himself. Antoine intervenes-despite Louis’s vehement protests-and hustles him home to his apartment. And it isn’t long before Antoine has decided to fix all that is wrong in Louis’s life. He artfully intercepts a suicide note mailed to Louis’s grandparents…riotously attempts to land Louis a job at his posh restaurant…and boldly attempts to mend the rifts between Louis and his former girlfriend, Blanche (Sandrine Kiberlain). But an unexpected twist of fate upsets Antoine’s grandiose plans for Louis’s “rehabilitation.” Here’s a surprising, dazzling comedy treat that sparkles like a bottle of fine wine.
