A film adapted from a noir novel by Georges Simenon, another drawn from a witty romantic comedy,
Les Volets Verts
by Jean Becker and
La Dégustation
by Ivan Calbérac (the own author of the adapted play) achieved fine figures of attendance after their theatrical release.
After two weeks of operation, the first named attracted 232,434 spectators, while the second seduced some 110,323 moviegoers from the first days of its appearance in French cinemas.
The impressive cast of these two cinematographic works certainly has something to do with it.
In
Les Volets Verts
Jean Becker has gathered around him Fanny Ardant, Benoît Poelvoorde, Anouk Grinberg (excellent!) and of course Gérard Depardieu in the role of this actor who sees his destiny escape him.
As for Ivan Calbérac, he masterfully directed two very popular actors: Isabelle Carré and Bernard Campan.

Of course, the American cinema with in particular
Everything Everywhere All at Once
with 132,121 spectators (1st position), and
Bullet Train
with 111,757 spectators monopolize the gold and silver medals of this week of cinematographic return.
But it is pleasant to note, because it is not common, that two French films compete with them.
