Business

About This Movie

So, 'Business' (1960) is this quirky little French film that dives into the world of charming mischief and moral ambiguity. You’ve got Léa and Clotilde teaming up with Ludovic and Papillon, and their antics against a backdrop of pharmacists and diamond dealers are both amusing and thought-provoking. The pacing feels just right, allowing the comedy to breathe while still keeping that dramatic tension as the police close in. It's interesting how the film balances light-heartedness with the theme of crime and consequences. The performances are lively and engaging, giving a real sense of camaraderie among the characters, which makes their heists all the more entertaining.

'Business' has enjoyed a bit of a niche following among collectors, especially those with an interest in European cinema from the late 50s and early 60s. It’s not the easiest film to find on physical media, with limited releases over the years, often overshadowed by more prominent titles from the era. Still, it holds a certain appeal for those who appreciate its blend of comedy and drama, making it a topic of discussion at gatherings of film enthusiasts.
