Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu, ranked as the 7th French film of all time at the box office and unrivalled since its initial release, returns to cinemas on April 14, 2024 for an exceptional anniversary. Directed by Philippe de Chauveron and co-written with Guy Laurent, this iconic film made a lasting impression with its humor and approach to cultural and religious differences within a traditional French family.
The comedy stars Claude and Marie Verneuil, played by Christian Clavier and Chantal Lauby. The Verneuils are conservative parents from the provincial Catholic bourgeoisie, faced with the matrimonial choices of their daughters, who each marry men of different faiths and origins. This dynamic provides fertile ground for humor and reflection on tolerance, open-mindedness and family love that transcends prejudice.
The film opens with the Verneuils struggling to come to terms with the marriage of their first daughter to a Muslim, followed by that of their second daughter to a Jew, and their third to a Chinese man. The hope of finally seeing one of their daughters married in church rests on the youngest daughter, who has met a Catholic, triggering a series of events that are both hilarious and touching.
The tenth-anniversary re-release is a unique opportunity for fans to rediscover this comedy on the big screen, and for new audiences to be seduced by its charm and timeless message. With its return announced for April 14, 2024, Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait au Bon Dieu? promises to rekindle laughter and hearts.
