Synopsis: 50 BC, Caesar decides to invade the island of Brittany. His conquest is swift, except for one small village that still holds out. Cordelia, queen of the Bretons, sends her officer Jolitorax to seek help in Gaul, from another village well known for its resistance to the Romans. Asterix and Obelix accept the mission and set off with a barrel of magic potion and young Goudurix to escort Jolitorax across the English Channel. But nothing goes according to plan...
With Gérard Depardieu as Obélix and Édouard Baer as Asterix, this fourth live-action film marks a new departure for the franchise. The story, full of gags and nods to British culture, pays tribute to the timeless humor of Goscinny and Uderzo. The tone remains true to the comics: quirky, absurd and accessible to all generations.
In addition to the central duo, Guillaume Gallienne plays Jolitorax, while a number of popular French actors join the cast, including Valérie Lemercier, Catherine Deneuve, Fabrice Luchini and Vincent Lacoste. This mix of generations lends the film a varied comic energy and family rhythm.
Accessible from age 8, Asterix and Obelix: Serving Her Majesty is aimed at children and adults nostalgic for the original albums. The film combines adventure, humor and Gallic spirit, in keeping with the great adaptations of the saga. Fans of previous
