4.0 out of 5 stars Love, friendship... and mental illness, 1 Aug 2007
Les Apprentis is the sort of French film that even determined Francophobes can warm to. No arty shots of Paris; no thirty-somethings debating Pascal's wager at dinner parties. Instead, this deadpan social comedy follows two deadbeats, Fred and Antoine, who live on pocket-sized food stolen from supermarkets, drink cheap booze and have conversations about anything from palpitations to urination. They move through a world of peeling wallpaper, dirty windows and wing-collared seventies shirts in a film that's proud to be shabby-looking.

They're not quite Laurel and Hardy, but the two leads still get laughs just for looking a bit silly together. Lanky, gangling Depardieu (son of Gerard) is an excellent foil for the more compact and traditionally French-looking Cluzet, who gets all the wisecracks while Depardieu's force of nature, Fred, relies on his laissez-faire charm. If Les Apprentis was American it would have been awful. As it is, there's mercifully little comedy of the `stoner dude' variety, and in spite of some casually smutty dialogue there's not a gratuitous nipple in sight.

Don't believe the Mail on Sunday whose reviewer reckoned this was the `French Withnail & I' - it's nowhere near as caustic. There are plenty of one-liners but none of the catchphrases that Withnail was blessed (or cursed?) with, and for all its gloominess Les Apprentis is basically a feelgood film about feeling bad.
