Welcome to the Sticks (3.0/5)
(Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis)
Waiheke Island Community Cinema, Auckland, New Zealand.
6th April 2009
(Director: Danny Boon. Stars: Kad Merad, Dany Boon, Zoe Felix)
Pleasant light comedy from France. The transfer of Merad’s post office manager from the desirable south of France to the cold north provides a pretext for Boon to mock the type of regional prejudices common in many countries. Superb subtitles fully exploit the Chitis (northern) dialect with great humour as touching relationships develop between the manager, his staff and his distant wife. The rustic venue strewn with sofas added to the evening’s charm.
