Great film but very very disappointing that it has a dubbed english sound track. It would be greatly improved if it had subtitles instead. George and Daniel's voices are terrible and I missed listening to their real voice. When i saw the original film at the movies it was histirical, and the dubbed version loses most of its humour with the dubbed track

The Closet was hilarious. Daniel Auteuil plays a boring, dull, and mostly overlooked man who is ignored by his family (ex wife and son), ignored or seen as useless at work, and basically has no personality or terribly redeeming qualities that can be seen. It is no wonder, then, when he discovers that he is going to be among those fired at his workplace, that he accepts this unquestioningly. Happily, his neighbor has a great talent for invention and sends a photo to Auteuil's character Pignon's office revealing him to be gay and something of a "wild man" outside of work. Naturally Pignon won't be fired now that his employer thinks he is gay; this will be seen as ostracizing and divisive and prejudiced, singling him out for his sexual orientation. The events that take place after Pignon's "outing" are farcical, comical and hilarious. Auteuil is a versatile actor, easily at home in comedy or drama, as is his co-star, Gerard Depardieu. Both handle their roles well. In the course of Pignon's "coming out" Pignon actually discovers a great deal about himself and his life changes unalterably.

Yet another brilliant comedy French master Francis Verber. A mild mannered office worker is fired and in a desperate attempt to hang onto his job claims to be gay. He becomes an unlikely icon for his henpecked co-workers and an even more unlikely object of desire. A great cast make the most of this sharp edged and entertaining comedy.
