podium . direct by yann moix . i haven not have this much fun for a while . courtesy of the 8th french cinema tour and podium just hit theater in a festival like run here while oh . i get so lucky . it such a funny comedy and one of the best i have see come out of la france and and one of the best of the year for sure . benoit poelvoorde be belgium national treasure for sure . he performance be outstanding while he play bernard fréderic with such emotion and wit and realism that i be gon na be real mad if he doesn not get a best actor nomination at the cesars . the thing that be so great and be that his character be hateful and charismatic at the same time . he believe he a star and so he start act like one represent mean and rudely . he a great singer and dancer too ( maybe kevin spacey could borrow him some idea ) . great writing and solid direction and hot french chic ( or accord to bernard and sexual bomb ) in a comedy that smartly explore the obsession for fame and celebrity and pop idol . you would not regret if you watch it . believe and it be worth it . the tribute to french super star and claude francois be there and make the whole thing nostalgic . and one more thing . perhaps american should keep their hand out of it and and not start to think about a remake . i suppose it will start it international commercial run in 2005 and so where it available and do not miss it . positive .
