LIFE IS A LONG QUIET RIVER (Blu-ray)

An outrageously wicked comedy about two families from award winning debut filmmaker etienne Chatiliez, this fast-paced satire became the most popular French comedy of the decade. The radiantly bourgeois Le Quesnoys with their immaculate children and perfect manners and the grubby, disreputable Groseilles are thrown together in absurd chaos by an act of revenge as they discover that twelve years prior their babies were switched at birth. A witty send up of class relations and family ties, Life Is a Long Quiet River was celebrated with a host of trophies at Frances Cesar Awards ceremony winning for best screenplay, best debut work and acting prizes for Helene Vincent and Catherine Jacob.
