About This Movie

So, 'Ne prends pas les poulets pour des pigeons' is this quirky French comedy from 1985 that dives into the chaotic world of law enforcement. You have Inspector Bricot, who's clearly not too confident in his team's abilities, sending these two detectives to handle a drug operation in this carnival mask factory. It’s got this playful tone mixed with some absurd situations. The pacing feels just right, swinging between comedic moments and the tension of the investigation. The performances add a lot to the charm; you can't help but chuckle at the mishaps. The practical effects in the mask factory are a highlight too, adding a unique texture to the film.
