One of the best French actors, Jean Dujardin, will star in a comedy on February 14. It is a vaudeville in costumes, named the return of the hero. This comedy carried by the one who embodied OSS 117 in the cinema will be released in theaters on February 14.

He wears different costumes to perfection and we imagine him without difficulty in the role of this soldier of the empire. Yes, the actor has a certain propensity to blend with ease into different roles. Jean Dujardin embodies Private Neuville, a coward that a misunderstanding will change into a hero in the eyes of the people.

Laurent Tirard is at the helm. The director has already had the opportunity to direct actors in costumes since he was behind the camera for Little Nicolas and Asterix and Obelix in the service of his majesty. The two men have already collaborated together on Un homme à sa hauteur, a comedy well received by the public. 

The trailer reveals a hectic pace that should make you have a good time. Mélanie Laurent's contribution as a lead actress is an added asset. The exchanges between the two actors on screen are truculent.

Synopsis: Elisabeth is straight, serious and honest. Captain Neuville is cowardly, deceitful and unscrupulous. She hates him. He despises her. But by making him an operetta hero, she has become, in spite of herself, responsible for a sham that will quickly overtake her… 

 

The Return of the Hero is distributed in France by StudioCanal.
