FIU – SPRING 2025 – THEME – LAUGHTER IN THE DARK
April 1: Welcome To The Sticks - 2008 - 106 min.
This uproarious, outlandish comedy set records as the highest grossing French comedy. When postmaster Phillipe Abrams seeks to be reassigned to a resort area of France at the urging of his wife, he makes a slight tactical error and winds up being reassigned to the frozen north of France...or so he thinks.
April 8:
The Closet - 2001 - 84 min.
When Francois Pignon, an accountant for a rubber factory, is about to be fired, he spreads a rumor that he's gay so that the company will be afraid to fire him, lest they come under fire for sexual discrimination. The ruse quickly becomes a challenge, leading to some very hilarious results.
April 22:
Moliere – 2007 – 120 Min.
An historical, hysterical and highly imaginative look at how a young down on his heels actor and poet in 17th century France re-invented himself to become one of the world’s greatest playwrights.
April 29:
The Dinner Game - 1998 - 80 min.
A classic comedy from the creator of La Cages Aux Folles. To amuse themselves at a weekly dinner, a few well-heeled folk each bring a dimwit along who is to talk about his pastime. Each member seeks to introduce a champion dumbbell. When Pierre, an avid participant of the game, invites Francois Pignon as his special guest, little does he know how the tables will be turned.
