Gross Paris

About This Movie

So, 'Gross Paris' is quite the quirky gem from 1974. It follows Bernard, a journalist, and his buddy Jules, who’s a butcher but has a real thing for horse racing. The film has this offbeat charm and a laid-back pacing that makes it feel like a slice of life wrapped in comedy. The performances are pretty relaxed, bringing a genuine vibe, and the way they blend the everyday with the absurd feels distinctive. There's a real sense of camaraderie and friendship that runs through the plot, underpinning the humor. It's not flashy or over-the-top, but there's a certain charm in its simplicity that sticks with you.

'Gross Paris' has had a somewhat obscure existence in the collector's market, with limited home media releases that contribute to its scarcity. Finding a decent copy is a bit of a challenge; it’s not one you run into often at conventions or online. The film's charm and distinct comedic style have garnered a niche interest among collectors who appreciate offbeat comedies, making it a conversation starter among enthusiasts.
