An enjoyable comedy adventure
|
Le Jaguar is Francis Veber's throwback to 50s-60s on-location comedy adventures, meaning there's not much comedy and not much adventure but the casting and production values carry you along regardless. Patrick Bruel needs to get out of Paris when his gambling debts are sold to East European gangsters, so agrees to go with Jean Reno's environmental activist to the Amazon to find a local chief's soul (long story) only to discover his real self in between being possessed by the spirit of the chief.
In truth there's not much going on here, but it's still an enjoyable movie with some very impressive location work and some of the best aerial photography I've ever seen - Veber has an impressive visual sense of scale, and the film never looks less than gorgeous. Vladimir Cosma's score is also superb and Patricia Velasquez makes an appealing leading lady. The film didn't live up to expectations for a Veber film (possibly because it was released locally against Mission: Impossible) and despite its good intentions can be seen as patronising towards the natives, but it's still an enjoyable diversion. |
