30,000 years before Asterix

Alain Chabat is back at the moment with Asterix and Obélix: the fight of chefs, an animation mini-series broadcast on Netflix and based on the eponymous album published in 1966. The director obviously knows the universe of René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo while he was already at the origin of the cult asterix and obelix: mission Cleopatra.

Attached to our favorite Gauls, the former member of Les Difs was nevertheless not limited to offering them adaptations to the screen. Two years after Mission Cleopatra, Alain Chabat then offered us Rrrrrr !!!, a comedy that everyone, or almost, knows today. But, at the time of its release, the film was destroyed by criticism.

“We didn’t all live it as the same. In fact, the one who took expensive is Alain Chabat, because he came out of Asterix, and he had to make him pay asterix. So the Parisian had titled: Null!“Explained Jean-Paul Rouve recently.”Alain lived it badly. Yes, we all lived it badly, and I have a little less because I was lucky, at the same time as it came out, I was released podium which was a big success. All of a sudden, you are in this mixture, so you suffer less than your friends. I know that Pef (Pierre-François Martin-Laval) suffered a lot. It is the life of cinema. And we found him funny, our film, and he became cult“.

A film that has become cult

Fortunately for Alain Chabat and his team, Rrrrrr !!! ended up obsessing French spectators. More than twenty years later, the film has become thanks to many replicas, including the famous “It’s going to be all black! – Shut up“, Repeated throughout this comedy. Obviously, if Alain Chabat has led the project, Rrrrr !!! owes a lot to the Robin des Bois troupe (Marina Foïs, Jean-Paul Rouve, Pef, Maurice Barthélémy and Elise Larnicol) and their completely absurd humor that radiates the film. For free on TF1+, but also Disney+ and Video premium.
