Mammuth
Legendary actor Gérard Depardieu is at his most uninhibited as an abattoir worker who hits the road with wild abandon.
Director: Benoît Delépine and Gustave K/vern
Overview
The story of a man, a mission and a motorbike. Serge (Depardieu) is an abbattoir worker who retires, only to find that he doesn't have a pension and needs to track down paperwork from his employers. Hitting the road, he has a series of variously humiliating encounters. Isabelle Adjani makes an eerie appearance as a woman from the past, while outsider artist Miss Ming makes her distinctly oddball mark.
Above all, the screen is filled - and then some - by Depardieu, casting vanity, long hair and often clothes to the winds. Reconnecting with the spirit of Bertrand Blier's Les Valseuses (1974), Depardieu clearly hits it off a treat with his directors - subversive farceurs Delépine and de Kervern (Louise-Michel) - whose anarchic cheek and up-yours radicalism are here in full force.
