Edouard Baer's movie Farewell Paris/Adieu Paris.

I checked the cast on Wikipedia and... wow.

-Pierre Arditi : Jacques
-Benoît Poelvoorde : Benoît
-François Damiens : Louki
- Bernard Le Coq : Enzo
- Bernard Murat : Pierre-Henry
- Isabelle Nanty : Isabelle
Léa Drucker : l'auxiliaire de vie d'Alain
- Gérard Depardieu : Michael
Ludivine Sagnier : fille de Michael
- Daniel Prévost : Bertrand
- Jean-François Stévenin : Jeff
- Jackie Berroyer : Alain
Yoshi Oida : Yoshi
Gérard Daguerre : le pianiste
- Édouard Baer : Édouard
Sigrid Bouaziz : la serveuse
Christophe Meynet : le barman

Ok, see all the actors where I put a - in front ? How to say it... each one if a) a monument of french cinema and comedy and b) specialist of crazy / whacky / colorfoul roles.
If you think Depardieu presence is the only guarantee of... colorfoulness... a movie with Depardieu AND Poelvoorde (geez) AND Edouard Baer (my goodness !) AND Berroyer AND Prevost (yowza !) AND Isabelle Nanty and Damiens is guaranted to be a fun ride.

For the record, Poelvoorde made "C'est arrivé près de chez vous" while François Damien is known for "Dikkenek". There are Belgium cult-iest movies of the last 30 years, each one a monument in itself, highly recommended.
Add Depardieu (countless roles and movies) plus Baer and Berroyer (Canal+ humour as its finest) also the always great Daniel Prévost (a veteran as much as Depardieu, but much more refined humor) ... and all the others.

Yeah. Fun ride.

Indeed it is an anthological gathering of indisputable luminaries worthy of the pantheon. This movie constitutes a living testimony for all generations and a cinematographic archive to be preserved.To say that this panoply of great names will one day die out, but like the dinosaurs their traces will endure in posterity. Time and death always inevitably deprive us of the most beautiful things in life.

They have posted a HD 1080 resolution of that cult scene from a cult movie. Watch the elaborate choregraphy of the soldiers, waiters and singers.
And yes, this is fictious and fatty Hitler half brother singing Julio Iglesis crooner song with a thick german accent. His name is Ludwig von Apfelstrudel (which is also the name of an austrian... cake).

As for the baffled women, Helena Bourdelle drew inspiration from Tintin's Bianca Castafiore.

That very song.

Don't try to make sense of Wikipedia plot summary: the entire movie is a huge "inside joke", mocking "la Grande vadrouille" and "L'armée des ombres"

Guaranted 100% cult even if the cult status status didn't crossed frontiers nor the language barrier.

Ah dear Archibald, I was "well on my cloud" to paraphrase Iglesias in his song and there you are provoking my cinephile side so what do you think of the movie which I consider cult by Claude Lelouch "Les un et les autres" a story that overlaps between war and peace to superb music from Maurice Ravel's Boléro the challenge of playing on two repeating notes.simply grandiose. For me it was yesterday and yet it was in 1981. How time flies.
