Details Limited Release: May 09, 2003; Rated: R; Length: 90 Minutes; Genres: Drama, Foreign Language; With: Johnny Hallyday and Jean Rochefort; Distributor: Paramount Classics

Two rulers of the French pop-culture kingdom admire each other's crowns in this autumnal film about a bank robber (grizzled rock & roll star Johnny Hallyday) and a retired schoolteacher (durable leading man Jean Rochefort) in a small town. Patrice Leconte's ingratiating drama feels cloyingly predetermined at times, but seeing Hallyday and Rochefort luxuriate in their contrasting personas is a kick.
