Absurdist French filmmakers Benoit Delepine and Gustave Kervern's follow up to 2004's Aaltra Louise-Michel is a jet black comedy in which the recently-fired female employees of a children's clothing factory led by ex-con Louise (Yolande Moreau Mammuth) pool their funds together to put a 'hit' on their callous boss. But while security specialist Michel seems like the perfect candidate to carry out the hit his ineptitude is so great that he attempts to sub-contract the job to a series of inexperienced - and highly inappropriate - assassins with outrageous and unexpected results.
In French comedy Mammuth the legendary Gerard Depardieu shines in his most uninhibited role to date, for which he was nominated for a Csar Award. One of the year’s funniest, most surprising and ultimately poignant comedies, cult directors Gustave Kervern and Benot Delpine (Louise-Michel, Aaltra) pull out all the stops in this bold and brazen road movie with a difference.
Successful Julien sees his family off on holiday and at once becomes drawn into a risky relationship with Angela whom he spies outside the cafe opposite his office. When he later finds she is to become his son's new nanny he rightly starts to worry there is more to the relationship than he bargained for.
