Les Tontons flingueurs
Les Tontons flingueurs( also known as" Monsieur Gangster", literally" Gun-toting Uncles") is a 1963 French- Italian- German comedy crime film with French dialogue, directed by Georges Lautner.
It is an adaptation of the Albert Simonin book" Grisbi or not grisbi".
The film is the final installment in the Max le Menteur trilogy; it was preceded by" Touchez pas au grisbi" and" Le cave se rebiffe".
The film was not popular with critics upon its first release in 1963, but was popular with the public.
Its reputation has grown over the years to cult status and it is now a French television classic, with snatches of dialogue and names of characters( like the whore Lulu la Nantaise) becoming part of popular culture.
Its DVD version, released in 2002, sold 250,000 copies.
One of the most famous scenes is set in a kitchen where the gangsters try to make conversation while drinking a vile and strong liquor.
Screenwriter Michel Audiard considered the scene useless but Lautner director included it in homage to the film noir" Key Largo".
Chongchuniyo!
Oh, Youth! is a 1995 North Korean comedy drama film by Jong- pal Jon, which was originally titled" Chongchuniyo!".
While North Korea is not typically known for releasing comedies," Oh Youth!" is a rare example of a comedic film produced in the DPRK, with English subtitles, and can be viewed on YouTube.
Of note is that, while mention of the late North Korean leader Kim Jong -il is a typical occurrence, he is not the protagonist of the film, nor is the success of the characters attributed to him.
The film focuses on the life of a Korean family, and a romance between two characters with an interest in tae kwon do, an ancient martial art with its origins in Korea.
