CAST Daniel Auteuil, José Garcia, Sandrine Kiberlain, Marilyne Canto, Michèle Moretti

Antoine is a maitre d’ in a Paris brasserie, Chez Jean, and is so full of being of service to others that he can’t say ‘no’. Late for dinner with his girlfriend Christine, he takes a shortcut home through the park but finds a stranger, Louis, in the act of committing suicide by hanging. Louis is distraught by the loss of his girlfriend Blanche and is so grateful that he attaches himself to Antoine. Antoine arranges a job for Louis — as a sommelier at Chez Jean and sets about trying to repair Louis’ life. —IMDb

Director

Pierre Salvadori

Pierre Salvadori (born 8 November 1964, Tunisia) is a French Corsican film director from Santo-Pietro-di-Venaco known for works on romantic comedies such as Hors de prix (2006).

In 1989 he wrote his first screenplay, which would then become the hit film Cible émouvante (Wild Target), which he directed in 1993. The film garnered the young director a César nomination for Best First Work, though he had already tested his directorial capabilities the year before with the short film Ménage.

Cible émouvante was remade in London by Jonathan Lynn as Wild Target (2009)

In 1995, Salvadori began working with Marie Trinignant and Guillaume Depardieu, who he cast in the highly successful films The Apprentices and Comme elle respire. And in 2000, Salvadori switched gears from comedy to the dark thriller The Sandmen. —Wikipedia
