Duration: 1 h 25 min
Rating: 5.4
Cast: Frédéric Duvallès, Noëlle Norman, Paul Meurisse

Willy Rozier is not much of a director,but it does not matter here cause Feydeau's play is ,as usual ,irresistible.

This is filmed Théâtre De Boulevard (light comedies performed in the theaters of the Paris Boulevards);and you get what you expect: husband,wives ,lovers,cuckolds,mistaken identities,you name it .

The title "Monsieur Chasse " (=the Master is hunting) may have here different meanings depending on the person you are talking to,but definitely not hunting rabbits or hares .

Paul Meurisse is wonderful as the poet doctor in love with a woman who does not want to cheat on her husband as long as he is faithful.He tells the virtuous wife hunting may not be what she's thinking of;besides her hubby uses his book of poems as a table wedge !

A very modern ending ,showing that Rozier was able to think "cinema" when he was filming theater.

French-language cinema, whether in France, Québec, or other Francophone regions, explores cultural identity, social change, and the tension between the individual and society. French cinema is not only celebrated for its intellectual experimentation and auteur traditions, but also its success in mainstream comedy, romance, and commercial entertainment. In Québec, films often focus on questions of language, belonging, and community within a distinct cultural landscape.
