Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: susan granger 's review of " the closet " ( miramax films ) in this hilarious french farce , a shy , boring accountant ( daniel auteil ) named francois pignon discovers
he 's going to be fired from his job at a condom factory .
lonely and distraught , he contemplates suicide .
but then he runs into belone ( michel aumont ) , an elderly homosexual neighbor , who suggests a " sex discrimination " lawsuit to intimidate management .
as evidence , belone concocts provocative photographs of pignon locked in a leather - clad embrace with another man and mails them anonymously to pignon 's boss .
when the racy snapshots start circulating around the factory , not only does pignon get his job back
but he suddenly finds himself the focus of attention as an openly gay man .
his lusty supervisor ( michele laroque ) is so intrigued that she wonders if , perhaps , she could change his sexual preferences .
even his ex - wife ( alexandra vandernoot ) and indifferent teenage son ( stanislas crevillen ) drop their disdain .
but not everyone is enchanted .
a mucho macho co - worker felix ( gerard depardieu ) , a self - righteous homophobe , is stunned and repulsed when he 's forced by the pr director ( thierry lhermite ) to grovel and court pignon 's friendship or risk losing his own job .
writer / director francis verber artfully milks the farcical comedy as he dissects the hypocrisy of political correctness , veering off - track only occasionally into pedophilia .
daniel auteuil (
" the widow of saint - pierre " ) is delightful - particularly with a blown - up condom perched on his head , riding on a float in a gay pride parade - and gerard depardieu delivers one of his most restrained , and effective , performances .
on the granger movie gauge of 1 to 10 , " the closet " is a frankly sexual , adult 8 .
it 's so clever
, in fact , that hollywood is already planning to re - make it in english , like " la cage aux folles .
