Le Prix à Payer (2007)



Jean-Pierre Ménard ( Christian Clavier) has got everything is sorted in his life – profitable and good job, student daughter and beautiful wife who have good shoes, cloth and have enough money to do whatever they want.
But now Menard have problem – his wife stopped pay attention to him, stopped prepare his ties, stopped go to café with him, stopped visit him at work and at the end sleeps in different room. What to do? How to make relationship work?
When Menard becomes completely depressed, his driver gives him advice – like”take the golden visa card from wife and she will give you love and warmth all you want”. But one thing, kind driver forgot to mention that he has got also problems with his mistress at home.
Flashing dialogues, ridiculous situations in the movie – all it makes us to laugh, but thus closer to the end of film the all audience turn into more sad and more sad
At the end I think what movie tries to show that it is a pity both women, and the men, bound to be engaged in business that they not love and to suffer people who are actually that even close to you. Finally both rich and poor only seek to survive in this world in any ways. And this game on a survival transforms a life into the nonsense filled by lovers, shops or work in « Gallery Lafayette ».
